Wokingham & Emmbrook were narrowly beaten 3-2 away to premiership side Milton Utd on Saturday (1/11) in the League Cup. Fans favorite Darren Thorne and the hard working James Wise were men on target for the Satsuma’s. Manager Wayne Wanklyn was happy with the teams performance stating “we had a number of regulars missing today, and the lads coming in did more than enough to suggest we have a squad capable of challenging for promotion this season. Although I do not like singling players out I thought Tommy Chapman was outstanding in the centre of our midfield”
4th November 2008
Wokingham & Emmbrook prouduced an excellent display to brush aside Prestwood on their home patch. Goals from James Wise (2) and Neil Hanson gave the visitors a 3-0 half time lead. In the second period Wise completed his hat-trick with a neat near post header, before a supberb Sam Duffelen strike made it five. Prestwood then pulled a goal back, before we completed the scoring, with the Prestwood centre half slicing the ball into his own net, whilst under pressure from Darren Thorne. Manager Wanklyn was delighted with the overall performance. " A big pitch seems to suit us, it allows us to pass the ball around and we tend to use every inch of it ". " The home side struggled all afternoon to deal with this and they were always being stretched at the back , we could quite easily have reached double figure's but a 1 - 6 win away will do us nicely " . " To Prestwood's credit they tried to get the ball down and play and never gave up " .

Wokingham & Emmbrook fell to their second defeat of the season on Saturday (18/10) with a 2-1 defeat at home to Newbury. Steve Tranter was given his debut, as he came in for the suspended centre half Shaun Wanklyn. The impressive Sam Whiting gave the home side hope with a well taken goal to level the match midway through the second half, however with satsumas pushing for the victory, Newbury caught them on the counter to score what proved to be the winner. A disappointed Wayne Wanklyn commented " The two goals we conceded were sloppy, we should have defended them better ". " Overall I thought we did well against a very good side and it was good to see both sides trying to win the game ". " We aren't going to win every game with such a young side who are still on a learning curve and they are certainly getting better ". " We now have to focus on next weeks game at Prestwood and make sure we collect all three points to keep us in contention ". " However I was pleased with the performance of new boy Steve Tranter who looked solid throughout, until he tired towards the end but this was to be expected coming out of local football ".
Richard is due to have talks with the Camberley managment today with a view to moving to the Hampshire outfit. All at Wokingham & Emmbrook FC would like to take this opportunatiy to wish Blandy all the very best for the future. 14th October 2008
There was a lot of surprised faces amoung our supporters on Saturday as they looked around to see leading goal scorer Richard Bland standing with them. Manager Wayne Wanklyn said after the game that local rivals Camberley Town had filed a seven day approach for our inform striker, and that Richard was interested in speaking with them. Wayne went on to explain" I did not feel he would be in the right frame of mind, and fully focused on the game".
13th October 2008
ROUND-UP IN ONE EAST There were wins for most of the leading clubs in One EAST although Ascot United suffered a rare defeat at Kintbury losing 2-1 after taking a first half lead through Paul Fagg. Callum Wilmoth levelled a minute from the break and Shaun Dyke, who has resolved his disagreement with manager Bobby Wilkinson netted a 90th minute winner. A goal from Callum Whitty five minutes from time secured the points for Binfield at Prestwood. Wokingham & Emmbrook beat near neighbours Holyport 3-0, a Nick Bateman first half goal was added to in the second period by Sam Whiting and Luke Lee. Henley Town and Newbury drew 1-1 as did Eton Wick and Bisley Sports. Englefield Green Rovers were another to draw 1-1, Penn & Tylers took a first half lead but Ben Whatford levelled ten minutes into the second period. Chinnor were beaten 3-0 at home by Finchampstead and South Kilburn won 2-0 at Rayners Lane. The battle at the bottom confounded all the Hellenic pundits as Thame United beat Launton Sports 6-1. Manager Wayne Wanklyn priorities were there for all to see when naming the side to face Westwood Utd in the Becks & Bucks Intermediate Cup at Cantley Park Saturday. Wanklyn left six or seven players out of his starting line up who I am sure would have started if this would have been a league fixture. The two plus's to come out of an otherwise disappointing afternoon were that both leading scorer Richard Bland and Ben Rice returned after weeks out on the side recovering from injuries. The home side found themsleves 3-0 down within the first 30 minutes. Neil Hanson pulled a goal back on the stroke of half time, and althought Richard Bland reduced the deficit midway through the second period, they could not breakthrough a well organized Westwood defence. With the Reading League side making the game safe in the final minute. Manager Wanklyn commented. " This competition was not top of the list in priority, being 2nd in the Division at the moment and still in the League cup are far higher ". " However this game let me have a look at several squad players who needed a run out, but it must be said that one or two of them didn't do themselves any favours and it answered a few questions for me ".

James Wise Scored the only goal of the game in the 18th minute to secure a 1-0 win at Launton Sports on Saturday (20/09). Manager Wayne Wanklyn was pleased with the points and commented " I said to the players at half time that a battle was needed to get the result, and to their credit they did that ". " We should have won more comfortably and with the two one on wons against their keeper, we should have done better ". " A pleasing thing though was that for the first time this season we kept a clean sheet, with Shaun Wanklyn, Grant Lewin and Neil Hanson doing well ". Match report

Ryan Davis pulled one back on the half hour but Chinnor were unable to snatch a point.
Wokingham & Emmbrook visited bottom club Launton Sports who appointed Eddie Nix as their manager last week after Robert Dick left the club. An 18th minute goal from James Wise was all that found the net to give Wokingham the points but this was a vastly improved performance from Sports.

With Jack Ingrim scoring the only goal of the game midway through the first half. Manager Nigel Bateman said "He would have been happy with a point from this game, so to come away with all three was a real bonus. It's only the third time the lads have played together, and you can see things are improving with each game, although I do feel we need to lift our fitness levels"

" We defended quite well not allowing them to get behind us". " But in the second half we stopped doing the things that were troubling them and played right into their hands ". " Poor refereeing didn't help although you cant blame the official for our poor second half performance and we probably got out of jail as Thorny did look offside, but we kept battling and were rewarded in the end". When asked about the return of top scorer Richard Bland, Herridge replied " He is still two or three weeks away from a return ".

Boss Wayne Wanklyn admits his side are going through their first difficult spell of the season. The Satsumas started their Ftl Futbol Hellenic League Division One East campaign with all guns blazing as five straight wins put them clear at the top of the table. But just one point from their last two games has seen them overtaken at the summit by Ascot United and Wanklyn knows his side must return to winning ways as quickly as possible. “We’re not playing well at the moment, we’ve dropped five points in our last two games. Last Saturday was probably our worst display this season in terms of our overall performance. We were pretty poor and we need to pick things up. Ascot are ahead of us now but I’m not really worried about them at the moment. We just need to concentrate on winning our own games. There’s about half a dozen teams in the league who think they have a chance and we need to make sure we stay with them. The most important thing will be when we play those sides, they are games we must win.” Wokingham travel to Englefield Green Rovers tomorrow and Wanklyn is wary of the threat they pose, despite their slow start to the season. He said: “They’ve had a few strange results and probably haven’t started as well as they would have wanted to, but we know it will be a difficult game. We need to get back to winning ways and start finding our form again so the lads will be up for it on Saturday.” Wanklyn’s squad could be boosted this weekend by the return of top scorer Richard Bland who has missed the last two games due to injury.1st September 2008
ROUND-UP IN ONE EAST
Ascot United and Binfield remain unbeaten in ONE EAST but Wokingham & Emmbrook still top the table after a surprise defeat against Henley Town, who have not had the best of starts.

We are proud to announce that the skills and dedication of two of our rising stars have been recognised by England and the F.A. David Bellis and Alex Walton will be joining up with other talented lads from around the country for the England Schoolboy trials. The England squad will be selected following a week long trial. As many of you will know David and Alex were star performers in last season’s Championship winning Allied Counties under 18 squad and this season will again form the ‘backbone’ and now also the experience for the Allied’s ‘journey’ into the challenging Allied Counties Premier Division. In addition to performing for the achieving Forest School and County side’s, last season David and Alex also effortlessly made the transition from youth football into the 1st team, where they regularly turned in ‘man-of-the-match’ performances in Wayne’s young and developing side. They are again expected to play a big part in this season’s senior campaign. All at the Club wish them all the luck at their trial with the England Schoolboys set-up and hope to bring you the news about how they get on. Chair23rd July 2008

After 4 years of substantial support from pulse8 I have just carried out
a review of this very generous sponsorship deal with the pulse8 senior
management.
The result of that review is that the gyms current policies mean that
the membership offered to our club has to change as follows:
There will be no more free memberships, however we have agreed a FC club
rate of £38 per month for all of you on the existing list. This is
further subsidised for the first 6 months so that the monthly fee will
be only £19 for this period, then rising to £38 after that. Current
standard fees are approx. £50 pm.
This deal also applies to any other FC members who wish to join pulse 8,
who have not previously had a membership there.
Also if any FC member is a current gym member they will be able to
transfer to the club rate of £38 pm, but not with the 6 month discounted
rate.
Hopefully you will all recognise that this is still a good deal and that
you will want to take advantage of it. If we get a good take up
throughout the FC there is potential for other deals in the future. We
are also discussing tuesday night fitness sessions for the 1st/Allied
squads during the season.
Your current membership will go ON HOLD on June 1st, so you will need
to get back to ME asap to let me know what you want to do and I will let
Paul know. He will NOT reinstate your membership without my email
confirmation. You will then need to set up your DD with them and then
carry on pumping iron or 'posing' as before.
I hope this is clear, but if you have any queries give me a call or
email me.
