Holyport took a four point lead in the group stages of the Hellenic League Subsidiary Cup on Monday night with a 4-2 win at Woodley United.
Derek Sweetman’s side have played four of their six fixtures and sit above AFC Aldermaston who face Wokingham & Emmbrook on Tuesday night at Larges Lane.
Woodley are bottom of the four team group but if nothing else, the competition has provided an opportunity for Jon Laugharne’s side to give players minutes, something that has clearly benefited the Kestrels league form.
The groups for the competition are regional, the down side to that being that Aldermaston have faced Laugharne’s side four times already this season, while Woodley have played Holyport three times, the latest being watched by only 15 people.
