Slough Heating Laurencians Reserves gained their first win on the road in the East Berkshire League this season after a 4-2 victory at Taplow United Swans on Saturday.
The Lauries have been in impressive form since returning to the league in the summer, now with four wins from their opening five games, scoring 22 goals in the process and conceding only five times.
Craig Kelly bagged a brace in the success at Popes Field, with Alfie Jago and the returning Ben White also hitting the back of the net. Alex Seymour scored twice for Taplow United but the Swans are still looking for a first win in the E.B.F.L this season.
F.C Bracknell made it four wins in a row in Division One thanks to a 5-2 success over Caversham United, this a first-ever defeat for The Billy Goats in competitive Saturday adult league football.
Shahid Bhatti was at the double for Bracknell at Great Hollands Recreation Ground with, Calvin Grainger, Antonio Pitter and substitute Ethan Callaway all also finding a route to goal.
Caversham were only a single goal behind at the half-time interval thanks to the efforts of Daniel Amponsah and Ben Hole but, The Billy Goats could not turn the tide in the second period and so their perfect winning record has come to an end.

The hosts were just as rampant in the second period with Orren Oliver scoring twice more to complete a hat-trick of his own, and there were added goals from Felippe Harrison and substitute Jordan Parmenter.
