Tonight
Newport Pagnell 7 Chalfont St Peter 1
Buckingham Ath 9 Wantage Town 0

...maybe what was expected from the 'Chalfonts' who've been very poor this term following a fairly abject relegation season ... and NPT are a powerful unit - Vase Winners last season?

Not so from the 'Freds' - though they too had a miserable 21-22 - can't say how strong the line-up was but last night they trailed to a mid-table STEP06 side by SEVEN at the break and FIVE after barely 1/4 hour
- had a few trialists on the bench apparently, so may not have sent a full squad - but this is a miserable inexcusable effort bearing in mind they put out Reading City in the previous round.

Round completes tonight (Wed) Milton v Sandhurst ..... nice ground but their bar is being re-furbed so currently not great on the 'spectator comfort' stakes.

Hungerford 7 Sandhurst 2
A far from full strength Hungerford team too good for a Sandhurst team who battled hard but were always 2nd best.

[Royals and Racers]

Date for Windsor v Bracknell is next Tuesday the 25th KO 7.45pm - i will be there in preference to watching the Maidenhead or Slough home games. I hope to then go to Amersham on Nov 1st and Buckingham on the 8th.

Wondered why Bracknell’s fixture with Yate had suddenly disappeared!

Windsor 0 Bracknell 8
Only took 30 secs approx for Bracknell to highlight the difference in class as they opened the scoring with a slick move. Bracknell included a fair sprinkling of 1st team regulars and were 3-0 up at half time. The only real good scoring chance the home team had was a missed penalty in the 2nd half.

Were you by any chance wearing a Royals beanie hat of rather indeterminate vintage ?

I should have followed my instinct and said hello, we were heading in opposite directions though.

Bracknell having a good start to the season and seem to be going places. Plus a televised cup game against Ipswich to boost the coffers. Shame they don't actually play in Bracknell (Sandhurst) i believe, not sure what's going on there, but must affect their attendances.

Bracknell are owned by Kane Steinborne-Busse and his wife/daughter/sister is listed as owning Sandhurst Town. Basically the long and short of it is that Bracknell want to progress up the pyramid (think their goal really is to be a National League side) and they couldn’t do that at Larges Lane so they sold it for housing and now share “down the road” at Bottom Meadow in Sandhurst where there is room to progress in the league ground wise. The club aims to return to Bracknell as soon as they have a new ground though am unsure exactly where they are on that currently.

Tonight`s results
Amersham 2 Binfield 1 - cracking cup tie. 0-0 at half time but plenty of chances and a big flare up just before the interval. Binfield took the lead in the 48th min with a superb free kick but Amersham roared back with goals in the 58th and 63 mins and despite Binfield throwing the kitchen sink at the Amersham back line they held firm.

Aylesbury Vale 2 Beaconsfield 6

Result of tonight`s match played at Thatcham- AFC Aldermaston 2 Shrivenham 5 - it must have been some match as Aldermaston had 2 sent off in the 1st half.
