BRITWELL missed the opportunity to move to the top of the East Berkshire Football League Premier Division after a 1-1 draw at Old Windsor on Saturday, writes Rob Stevens.
With leaders SB Phoenix suffering defeat at Singh Sabha, Britwell would have become the new leaders with a victory over the defending champions. A goal from Joe Allen and a man-of-the-match performance by Luke White put Old Windsor ahead in the contest, before Ben White struck to give the visitors a point.
Singh Sabha gained revenge on SB Phoenix for a defeat the previous weekend with a 3-2 home win, elevating them up to third place in the table. Sabha fell two goals behind but, despite playing with 10 men, recovered to take the victory thanks to a star display and brace from Conrad Joseph.
Stoke Poges Saints are the new leaders in Division One despite being held to a goalless draw at Hype Train FC. It was a game of few chances and neither team could break the deadlock. The Saints best chance fell to Sam Manton in the second-half, whilst Hype Train threatened through several first-half set-pieces. The result means Stoke Pohes have recorded back-to-back clean sheets and remain unbeaten this season.
The Saints went top after former leaders Iver Heath suffered a first loss of the season, going down 3-1 at home to Old Windsor Reserves, a result that moves them off bottom spot. The Old Windsor goals coming from man-of-the-match Chris Atkins, Lucas Benge and Lex Young.
Townmead remain third in the table thanks to a 2-0 win at Hounslow Wanderers.
