Marlow move up- but the spotlight remains firmly on Bracknell Town

Westfield hosted a Bracknell Town side who started the day twelve points clear at the top of the table- and they looked favourites to extend that advantage as first Max Herbert and then Shamar Moore made it one and then two-nil in the nineteenth and thirty second minutes. Despite Westfield's efforts they turned out to be the only goals of the game, and they see the gap at the top grow to a rather incredible fourteen points.

Bedfont Sports hosted a Chertsey Town side in second place and determined not to let the leaders get any further ahead, but it was the hosts who finally broke the deadlock, Max Webb scoring on seventy three minutes. Sports have been experts at scoring late goals this season, but today’s late goal went to the Curfews, Andrew Crossley equalising in the last minute.

Thatcham Town and Marlow were inseparable until ten minutes from time, when Devontae Romeo put the visitors ahead- and the same player made it two-nil two minutes from time. That result sees Marlow up to fourth- seventeen points behind Bracknell Town, albeit with four games in hand.

It increasingly looks like everyone else but Bracknell are now battling for a playoff place- even though it seems rather premature to be saying that on New Years Day.
