Ascot United 6-0
Westfield- went to this: fancied a game with ‘something on it’ and didn’t feel like travelling too far.
- Ben Harris hat-trick against less than committed opponents - ensured they skipped back into the PO spots just above H&Y on GD.
- now face two PO rivals in the last 3 games – first up the re-scheduled game at Hanworth V abandoned due to tragic passing of a spectator (and long-time Ascot supporter)
- sides in 2nd 3rd and 4th all loseAshford Town (Middx) 1-3 Moneyfields

Eversley & California –high drama here in the scramble for the POs as Boro level on 94’ , only for the ‘Boars’ to charge back and win it on 96’ – sealing 5th place.
- E&C will probably face Westside or P&TGn in the semi-finals – those two meet next Saturday
-Westside then travel to Belstone on Easter Mon – THAT game is scheduled for a 13:00 KO – the CCL usually KO at 11:30 on a B/H - so sadly not feasible as part of a doubleLondon Samurai Rovers 1-0 Staines & Lammas (Middlesex)
