The Sumas ended the season on a high by clinching the Reading Senior Cup last night at the Madejski Stadium.

In a hard fought game they beat Highmoor Ibis 3-1 to secure Roger Herridge's first piece of silverware as Satsumas manager.

Matt Jones missed an early penalty before Shane Small-King put Highmoor in front with a brilliant free-kick against the run of play.

Wokingham regrouped well and Dean Thomas equalised for Satsumas before the break when his pace caught out the highmoor keeper and defenders to roll into an empty net. The lads carried on the second half when Adam Cornell nudged Wokingham in front with a stunning overhead kick in the 65th minute.

And Thomas secured the victory and the trophy with Wokingham's third late on before the striker was denied a hat-trick in injury time when his shot hit the post.

A great night for all involved at WEFC and a crowd of 530 of which 400+ were Wokingham fans were treated to a fine performance in winning the Reading Senior Cup for the second time in 4 years.
