Top of the table clash

Buckingham 2s met Reading 2s in what could be the premier league 1 season decider.

Both teams showed their ability from the start with shared possession and much of the first half being played out in mid-field. Great hockey was played throughout to leave the score 0-0 at half-time

In the second half Buckingham began to dominate with the majority of possession, but Reading defended well until the 59th minute when Fi Farley deflected in from a short corner. Reading then rallied with wave after wave of attacks, only very strong defending from Isy Honour, Charlie Coumbe and, player of the match, Sophie Tuckett held Reading at bay until the end and secured the win for Buckingham.

Buckingham are now 5 points clear of Reading, with a game in hand.
