Bracknell Town & District Sunday League action returned on Sunday morning after the Christmas break giving teams the chance to blow off the cobwebs and stake their claims for honours in what is the start of the second half of the season.

In the Premier Division leaders Crowthorne Inn made a clear statement that, following runners-up finishes in the last two seasons, they mean to make it third time lucky this time round with an impressive 4-2 win against third placed FC Fernhill. Bracknell Rangers maintained their own challenge and stay 2nd with a 5-0 win against Panthers through goals by Ryan Martin (2), Ollie Noyes (2) and George Lock. In the game at the bottom of the Division Morale Madrid edged out Loveman United 4-3 whilst the other game played between Raglan and Berks County finished all-square at 2-2.
