A round up from Saturdays matches played in the Uhlsport Hellenic League

Premier Division
With the top two clubs out of action Ascot United missed the opportunity to move into second place. They had to win by greater than four clear goals at Abingdon United. Instead the home side who started and ended the day in the bottom three, that got the four goals. Ascot could only manage a consolation. Bracknell Town in 8th place visited Ardley United two spots and five points above them. Goals from Sam Whiting, Scott Drummond-Byrne, and a last minute winner from Jake White were too much for the home side for whom Luke Ingram and Ricky Johnson found the net. This closed the gap to just two points. Highworth Town and visitors Oxford City Nomads both started the game with 29 points. A brace each from Callum Parsons, and Ryan King, saw the home side move up the table. Louis Joyce struck twice for the visitors. Flackwell Heath who had played the fewest number of league games went to Milton United and put six past them. A Gavin James hat-trick, a pair from Danny Burnell, and one in the last minute by Ben Sturgess, took all three points back home. Second from bottom Shrivenham entertained Brimscombe & Thrupp from two places above them and shared a six goal thriller. Two from Sam Collier and another from John Rees gave Shrivenham a two goal advantage with twenty minutes to go. However the visitors clawed level with a penalty and then an equaliser in the 95th minute. Fifth from top Thame United were visited by fifth from bottom Newbury. It was the home sides day and two goals in the last 11 minutes saw them to victory. It was a real local derby at Thatcham Town with Reading Town the visitors. Both clubs started the day on 24 points. Ray Spence scored first for the home side. Then three first half goals for the visitors from Josh Helmore, Kinsley Maloney, with a penalty from Ed Chapple, took the points.

One West
Mid–table Hook Norton went to four places below them Clanfield and despite many chances neither side could score. Fourth bottom New College Swindon already had beaten second placed Lydney Town this week. Today they welcomed third place Cirencester Town Development, but could not quite take another ‘scalp’. Christie Millar scored for New College, with Jacob Davidge, and Jack Smith for the visitors. Lydney Town put five past lowly Letcombe. Pat Gibbs, Joe Benn, Dan Morgan, and a brace from Richard Kear sealed the points. North Leigh United in 5th place travelled to Tuffley Rovers, one place and one point below. The visitors took the lead through George Seacole, but four second half strikes from Ashley Davies, Kieran Squires, Mark Ford, and Glenn Gittins, gave the home side the victory. Tytherington Rocks in mid-table greeted fourth place Purton and with a last gasp Joe Waters goal took a share of the points. George Williams had opened the scoring for the home team before Nick McRae and Jamie Richards had put the visitors ahead.

One East
Rayners Lane took a three goal first half lead at Didcot Town. Emmanuel Sam, Jamal Mattan, and Jordan Robinson all found the net in the first 20 minutes. Lewis Noble got two back before the hour, but the equaliser could not be found. Mid-table Finchampstead also went three ahead in the first 20. Second placed Easington Sports also got two back, but the home side added another two. Four positions and five points separated Headington Amateurs and lower placed Henley Town. However it was the visitors, Henley Town that took the points with four goals from Asa Povey, Richard Thomas, and a couple from Sean Moore that included a penalty. Luke Cuff was again on target for Headington. Fourth place Old Woodstock Town put four past visitors Chalfont Wasps who did manage a couple in reply. Jack Kennedy, Rob Keylock, Dan Sadler, and Jack Heap were all on target for the home side. Fourth from bottom Chinnor visited Penn & Tylers Green two places below them. The home side closed the gap with goals from Chris Hurst and James Pritchard. Matty Tally was on target for the visitors. Mid-table Woodley Town lost by the odd goal in three at third placed Wokingham & Emmbrook
