Briggs Hits Four as Albion Stroll Through

Tilehurst Albion's strong start to the season continued with an emphatic 11-1 Philmar Cup win at league newcomers Vineyard FC. Toby Briggs led the way with 4 goals, while Josh Baines and Teddy Thomas each bagged a double. Danny Lawrence, Ali Clewer and Bradley Lilley rounded of the scoring with a goal apiece. Vineyard's consolation arrived courtesy of Ryan Gambling. Reading Saints stylishly brushed Real World Corinthians aside 4-1, with player-manager Rob Jones leading by example. His two goals were added to by a Dave Kemp pair; Rob Dunbar scored Corinthians' single reply. Finchampstead made it through to the next round with a hard-earned victory over West Reading CFC, Ollie Hill getting both goals in a 2-1 win. Another double, by Greyfriars FC's James Hern, was not enough to see his side through to the second round. After a rather one-sided first half, opponents Wycliffe Wanderers took a 3-nil lead into the break. Although Greyfriars improvedin the second half, Wycliffe added another three to secure their passage. A smart hat-trick from Neil Healy was added to by strikes from Phil Knox, Jamie Shepherd and Baptiste Jouhannoud. The next round is scheduled for 26th November.
