Ligers travel to Wokingham to take on fifth placed Reeves Rangers Blues. Reeves Rangers FC has been at the heart of the youth football community in and around Wokingham since the club was formed way back in 1975. Reeves Rangers now operates no less than 18 youth teams from under 7’s right through to the under 18 age group.

Rangers have an unblemished home record this season although they have not been quite so resolute on the road, losing at Spencers Wood Scorpions and Teddington Athletic. Whilst their goal difference is positive, statistically their games appear to have been extraordinarily close, and a two goal swing would see parity. They have a very tight little squad of just 12 boys and, uniquely, they wear shirts numbered 1 to 11, with only Todd Brotherton breaking the trend by wearing number 22.

Ligers find themselves in second place this week, Marlow United having returned to the top of the table for the first time since the opening weekend, beating Bracknell Athletic in a rearranged fixture whilst the majority of the league was on half-term or playing Cup games. Marlow travel to third placed Pinewood Panthers, who will be smarting from their cup defeat at Lincoln Field. As the top three are all on 15 points, this could be a key weekend, although unbeaten Marlow are waiting on the League's decision regarding their cancelled fixture with Woodley Saints, back in September.

Ligers again field a large squad this weekend. Sam has withdrawn owing to a karate commitment, other than that Simon appears to be able to call on a full complement with Kevin and Daniel recovering from injury and illness. Five of the squad will maintain their 100% appearance records and George will be hoping to maintain his average of just under 3 goals per game, although it is slightly lower in league fixtures. Matt is still seeking his first clean sheet of the season but the team is currently conceding 3 goals a game on average, so there is some tightening-up to be done in the defensive third if the hosts are not to maintain their own average. Rangers and Ligers both have the poorest defensive records in the top half of the table.

We will be battling home with the Twickenham traffic prior to the England v All Blacks match at 3pm. Let's hope it's a happy journey!
