Fine win for Newbury against local rivals

Dave Tuttle made several changes to the side that had lost at Wantage, with new players Declan Jacob and Paolo Cicero making their debuts and Bradley Shaw starting in favour of Kalief Madden.
Both sides started slowly but Newbury had the first chance when a pass from Cicero found Jacob in the box but instead of shooting tried to pass the ball and it was cleared.
The home side were forced into an early change when Danny Lachacz was injured in the 15th minute and had to be replaced by Madden.
It was the visitors who took the lead in the 31st minute when they broke down the right and a cross/shot by McClean beat Coaker in the Newbury goal.
Newbury got an equaliser when Bradley Shaw broke into the area and his shot beat the keeper to score his first.
Reading almost took the lead on the stroke of halftime when a snap shot came back of the post and was cleared by the home defence.
Newbury took the lead in the 49th minute when they were awarded a penalty.
Willmoth’s shot was saved by Silver in the Reading goal but Kalief Madden followed up to score.
Newbury started to get the upper hand and it was not a surprise when they scored again when Shaw ran onto a ball on the edge of the area and his shot went through the
hands of the keeper.
Reading brought on Trannel Richardson and pulled a goal back in the 70th minute.
The visitors pushed forward for an equaliser but it was the home side which scored the decisive goal in 85th minute when once again Shaw picked up a superb pass from Cicero and scored his third and Newbury’s fourth of the game.
Newbury's take on Woodley Town in the Reading Senior Cup this Saturday before welcoming Highmoor Ibis to Monks Lane on Boxing Day, kick off at 12pm.
