FOOTBALL

Maidenhead Utd (0) 0 – 5 (0) Eastleigh

A second half capitulation by the Magpies saw them blown away by their Hampshire visitors.
Against the same opponents last week, the Magpies threw away a two-goal lead to lose 3-2, but this time around there can be no dispute as to ‘what might have been’.


Reading (0) 2 – 0 (0) Man City

The Royals climbed out of the Premier League’s relegation zone after beating Manchester City thanks to second half goals from Shane Long and Dave Kitson.


Wycombe Wanderers (1) 2 – (0) 0 Darlington

The Chairboys gave their play-off hopes a boost with goals either side of the break from Leon Knight and Scott McGleish against third-placed Darlington.


Bridgwater (0) 3 – 3 (3) Burnham

In a wind-affected match goals from Jeff Brown, Ryan Byrd and Leon Yarnie gave the Blues a 3-0 advantage at the interval. But afterwards the hosts fought back and grabbed the equaliser on 90 minutes.


Marlow (0) 0 – 0 (0) Thatcham Town

Marlow made it four consecutive matches without a goal in their disappointing clash at home to Thatcham Town. They created chances, but could not finish them.


Flackwell Heath (1) 1 – 3 (2) Witney United

The Heathens free-fall down the Hellenic Premier Division continued with this two-goal setback at Wilks Park against fourth-placed Witney.


RUGBY

Maidenhead (7) 12 – 15 (12) Redingensians

Maids showed their lack of confidence and tactical nous to lose a ‘four-pointer’ in their latest battle to avoid relegation from South West 1.
An early try after the break brought the score to 12-12, and with the wind the hosts should have pushed on, but the surge failed to materialise and Redingensians came away narrow winners thanks to a 64th minute drop goal.

Tadley 11 – 42 Marlow

The bounce back continues for Marlow as they scrap to beat the drop from South West 2 East. A comfortable victory contemns the hosts to almost certain relegation while Marlow live to fight another game.

HOCKEY

Aylesbury 0 – 0 Maidenhead

In what captain Neel Sood described as a ‘real bore draw’, had had to settle for a point at already-relegated Aylesbury. However, two wins in their last two matches could see Maids finish fourth - a respectable placing after a tough season.
