Despite both teams and Referee being ready well before the scheduled start time we somehow managed to kick off fourteen minutes late. The match was 4th versus 9th (out of 11) and despite an awful pitch it was a decent match. The visitors opening goal was a superb overhead kick, but this was outdone with a thunderous shot from the edge of the box for the hosts that put them 3-1 up. Finchampstead replied with a penalty to make it 3-2, before Berks County lost their ‘keeper to injury. The stand in managed to keep a clean sheet and they held on to the 3 points, despite having to play out eight of an additional eleven minutes of stoppage time with 10 men, having had a man sent off for a second yellow card offence.
