Mixed fortunes for local football clubs

Thatcham missed a chance to go third with a home defeat while Reading climbed into the play-off places

?

A JOBI McAnuff brace wrapped up the perfect Boxing Day present for the Royals against Brighton at Madejski Stadium yesterday (Monday).
Reading started the better with Jimmy Kebe and Simon Church both going close within the opening ten minutes.
McAnuff broke the deadlock seven minutes later with a cool finish after being found in the box by Kebe.
The goal seemed to galvanise Brighton, who started to gain more possession but created little in the way of clear-cut chances.
Then in the second minute of injury time, Reading doubled their lead when McAnuff cut inside from the left and hit a fierce shot passed Brighton goalkeeper, Casper Ankergren.
The away side had the better of the second half but were let down by poor finishing.
Ryan Harley tested Reading goalkepper, Adam Federici, from close range but the Australian stood tall.
Brighton striker, Craig Mackail-Smith, also had a couple of chances but failed to hit the target.
The game was wrapped up in injury time when Brighton right back, Adam El-Abd, steered Kebe?s cross into his own net.
There wasn?t as much festive cheer in Thatcham as Town lost 1 v 0 at home to North Leigh.
Thatcham are now fourth in the Evo-Stik League Southern Division One South & West.
Thatcham will be hoping to bounce back on New Years Eve when they entertain Didcot Town at home at 3pm.
Newbury, Hungerford and Reading are also in action on New Years Eve.
Newbury entertain Lambourn Sports at home (3pm) with Hungerford travelling to Wimborne Town (1pm) and Reading at home to Ipswich (3pm).
