Old Windsor and Pundit will represent the East Berkshire Football League in the Last 16 of the Berks & Bucks F.A. Charles Twelftree Trophy this season after wins in the Second Round of the competition on Saturday.
The Os are the current clear leaders in the EBFL Premier Division and welcomed S.B. Phoenix to the Old Windsor Recreation Ground, the visitors currently propping up the table in the Thames Valley League Premier Division.

Pundit made the trip to Elmhurst of the Aylesbury & District Football League in their bid to reach the Last 16 and left with a 3-2 victory with Adam Durrant, Thaon Richardson and Tapuwa Mataz all on the scoresheet. The Elmhurst goals came either side of half-time from Jigar Sandhu and Aliyaan Haider.
The reward for Pundit is another road trip in Round Three, this time to Padbury Rangers of the North Bucks & District League with the tie scheduled to be played on Saturday 11th November (1.30pm).
Southcote exited the Charles Twelftree Trophy in the second round following a 3-0 loss at Reading YCMA from the Thames Valley League Premier Division. The visitors’ chances were not helped after a red card was shown to Bradley Hyde.
Singh Sabha were dumped out of the competition after a heavy 6-1 defeat at Old Bradwell United – the home team mid-table in Division Two of the Spartan South Midlands League. Ross Butler did the damage for the hosts, bagging two goals in the first period and another late on in the tie to complete his hat-trick. There were goals from Scott Valentine either side of the break, with Kieran Roberts also on target in the second half. Singh Sabha pulled a goal back through Pritpal Raju in the first period.
