Bracknell Aces play at Ringmead Playing Fields, where there’s a changing room building next to the car park and two pitches, separated by a cycle path and about fifty yards, with tonight’s game on the eastern most one, which was roped off along most of one side.

The match was 1st versus 4th in the league table, both still in the fight for promotion, as well as the title, along with F.C. Bracknell and Prospect.
It was keenly contested throughout, although goal scoring chances were at a premium. Mortimer broke the deadlock midway through the first half, intercepting a pass from the home ‘keeper to his right back and smashing the ball low into the bottom corner. Bracknell had a great chance to level the scores right on ninety minutes, but having been played through on goal, the chip over the ‘keeper cleared the crossbar and a minute into stoppage time Mortimer added a second goal, when a cross from the right was chested down and fired low into the far corner.

This result sees Bracknell Aces remain top with 45 points, but they only have one game left to play. F.C. Bracknell are four points further back, but have five games left, followed by Prospect on 40 points (4 games left) and Mortimer on 32 (7 games left).

The 36 mile journey took a ridiculous ninety minutes, with the pre Bank Holiday getaway causing a crawl around the M25 from J9 to J12 (the M3). The return took exactly half the time of the outbound slog.
