Goals on the road




Thatcham were in action for the first time under new manager Neville Roach, who saw his side beat Combined Counties League first division Westfield 8-0 on their own turf.
Hungerford also enjoyed a romp in the sun when winning 6-1 at Wessex League Horndean. Manager Bobby Wilkinson was keen to play down is club’s James Harper connection, and the 31-year old former Reading star was pursuing his career with Coventry City following Doncaster Rovers as interested parties.
But Wilkinson had Diak John back in the ranks having spent much of the pre-season with Basingstoke Town although he did not give debuts to new signings Ian Herring and Mark Hughes from Thatcham.
Mark Draycott’s early goal was wiped out by a strike from the burly and vastly travelled Jemal Fenelon but Hungerford streaked away to lead 4-1 at the break with Matt Day, Luke Hopper and Draycott again on target.
Draycott completed his hat-trick and Scott Rees scored his first goal for the club, both at the start of the second period before Hungerford cruised home in the sunshine.

continued their warm-up campaign with a 1-0 win at Abingdon Town where Richard Guy’s 35th minute goal was the winner.

night sees Thatcham go to Fleet while Hungerford are not far away at Camberley Town. Lambourn Sports go to Tadley Calleva and their reserves are at Highworth.
