GORING UNITED booked their place in the next round of the Berkshire Trophy Centre Senior Cup after edging past hosts HOLYPORT RESERVES 2-1 in a hard-fought contest last Saturday. Goring goalkeeper Will May pulled off a point blank save to keep the scores level at the interval. Goring struck first on 60 minutes when Matt Hayden delivered a pinpoint free kick from the right and Sully Akers rose highest to head home. With penalties looming, Goring found one last moment of quality deep into stoppage time when a Hayden free kick caused chaos in the box, and captain Ed Ardill reacted quickest to make it 2-1 in the 92nd minute. On Wednesday of last week, HENLEY TOWN crashed out of the tournament after going down to a 4-0 defeat at home to WESTWOOD WANDERERS.
