Games to be played 13- 19 April

The first team's sole game over the last week was a home encounter with second placed Highworth. Despite a 3-1 defeat, positives will have been taken as United matched their opponents for long periods of the game. The coming seven days sees three matches starting with a home encounter tomorrow evening (Friday) against thirteenth placed Royal Wootton Bassett. Woodley led for most of the match in the away fixture before conceding twice in the final sixteen minutes. Returning to Rivermoor on Tuesday, United face Chesham United in the Berks & Bucks semi final. Chesham play two divisions above Woodley and will be the highest rated team the club have ever faced. Back in the league on Thursday sees a trip to mid-table Longlevens; this is the first meeting between the clubs this season.

The Royals have a huge match on Saturday when they visit Taplow United. This is bottom facing second bottom; defeat will mean Woodley finding themselves at the foot of the Thames Valley Premier League although Taplow have played four more games than United. On Wednesday they host fourth placed Wright & Unity Sports.

A top three finish is still within the 'B' sides grasp. They picked up a valuable point last weekend with Cintra Park Rovers who are two places above them but might be a tad disappointed considering they were two up at the break. This Saturday sees a home encounter with last placed Farnham Royal Mavericks.

Sunday Teams

The first team are unbeaten in three drawing their last two games 2-2. They have a Thursday evening trip to Richfield Rovers Reserves who are one place and point behind Woodley.

Perhaps the biggest game of the coming week sees Woodley's Sunday Reserve side host unbeaten Warfield United. There are four teams in the running for the title with Woodley currently leading the race; two points ahead of their opponents.

The 'A' team don't play this week.
