PICTURE: Britwell have won all eight of their matches in the Premier Division so far this season to lead their rivals by three points heading into the winter period.
Britwell F.C made it a perfect eight wins out of eight in the East Berkshire League Premier Division with a 6-1 victory against Sandhurst F.C Royals on Saturday.
The Steamteam has swept all before them since rejoining the league from the Hellenic Football League in the summer and they lead arch rivals and defending champions, Old Windsor, by three points. The two title favourites are still to meet in the race for championship glory.
Britwell have scored an impressive 47 goals in eight league matches so far this season at an incredible average of more than five goals per game, and the defence has conceded only twice in that time.
Bryan Robert Taylor bagged a brace at the Sandhurst Memorial Park, with Jack Pearce, Conor Remsbury-Kelly, Sean Robinson and Thomas Smith all also hitting the back of the net.
A Scott Shakran effort is a mere consolation for Sandhurst, but it was the first time that the Britwell defence has conceded a goal since the opening weekend in the season.
The Royals have now lost in each of their last three league games, twice to the table toppers and once to last seasons runners-up, Frontline, but they maintain a very respectable mid-table position as the season approaches the halfway stage.

Old Windsor are hot on the heels of Britwell at the top of the table and recorded a seventh straight win in the league with a 4-0 victory against Langley F.C Reserves.
Chris Tierney broke the deadlock with a goal inside seven minutes at the Old Windsor Recreation Ground but that was the only effort in a close first half. The Os however, took more of their chances in the second period and further goals from Sam George, Bradley Birchmore and substitute Jake Bartlett secured maximum points.
Frontline put back-to-back losses behind them to beat Pundit 4-3 and move up to third position in the table, leapfrogging rivals F.C. Baylis United in the process.
The visitors to George Pitcher Memorial Ground in Burnham can boast four different goals scorers; Sameer Khan and Sayyid Saleh plus substitutes Isaac Amin and Ahmed Saleh.
This latest loss is a third straight defeat in the league for Pundit and they remain in ninth position in the table, a single point above the relegation zone.
PICTURE: FC Bayis United saw their three-match winning streak in the Premier Division come to an end after a narrow 2-1 defeat to Cookham Dean on Saturday.
F.C. Baylis lost ground in the race for the championship after slipping to a narrow 2-1 defeat to a resurgent Cookham Dean side that has now won in all four of its last league matches, a run that dates back to the beginning of October.
The visitors to the Alfred Major Recreation Ground took the lead when Ajmal Abdalla hit the back of the net 10 minutes before half-time. Baylis could not hold onto their advantage however, and Sean Inkpen equalised just two minutes later, and Simeon Broadbent scored the winner on the hour mark.
Cookham were reduced to 10-men when Dylan Morrison was dismissed for a second bookable offence with a little more than 10 minutes still to play, but his side held on to bag another three points and now be within touching distance of a mid-table position.
KS Gryf gave themselves a huge confidence boost in the battle with relegation thanks to a 4-1 success over fellow strugglers Chalvey Sports, themselves now outside the bottom two on goals difference only.
Eugeniu Craciunescu, Oskar Luniewski and Emmanuel Adjei were all amongst the goals scorers for Gryf, whilst Rolly Illunga was on the scoresheet for The Stabmonks.
There was just two matches in East Berkshire League Division One on Saturday and Old Windsor F.C. Reserves climbed back into the top four with a 4-3 win against Prospect F.C
Both Ollie Ellis and Adam Ostler hit the back of the net for The Os in the first half, with later goals for Paul Munro and substitute Joe Webster at Calcot Recreation Ground in Reading.
Prospect fought hard to avoid a second consecutive home defeat but ultimately came up narrowly short; their goals came from brothers Dawid and Jakub Jarzebowski plus Kacper Sek.
PICTURE: Bracknell Aces have now won back-to-back games in Division One after a 4-1 victory against Eton Wick at Ringmead on Saturday.
Bracknell Aces made it back-to-back league wins thanks to a 4-1 victory over Eton Wick, the Aces now behind the Wick in the table on goals difference only.
After a goalless first-half at Ringmead the contest came to life in the second period with a brace from Alfie Harris, plus further goals from Lewis Lancaster and substitute Alex Girling. Oliver Brotherston was on the scoresheet for the fallen visitors who miss out on a hat-trick of league wins and the chance to move into the top half of the table.
Hype Train and Taplow United Swans have set up a mouthwatering clash in the Semi Finals of the Slough Town Junior Cup after both teams made progress in the competition on Saturday.
The Train edged out Langley F.C. Under 18s 3-2 in a close game at Waingels College while The Swans thrashed Frontline F.C. Reserves 6-2 at Burnham Grammar School. The two sides will now meet for a place in the Final in February 2025.
A goal from Mark Bush gave Hype Train a narrow lead heading into the break, before further strikes from both substitute Phil Newport and Nadim Gharabli ensured victory for the home side.
Ben Harvey led the rout for Taplow United with a brace, with further goals from Jake Bennett and Charlie Parr as well as substitutes Daniel Gribben and Cian Johnson-Page.
FC Bracknell are out of the Ascot & Fielden District Charity Cup competition after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Holmer Green Development in the First Round. Holmer Green will travel to AFC Reading in the second round on Saturday 7 December.
