RYAN Brown was in sensational form as his four goals helped Tilehurst YM obliterate Ghana Stars 6-0 in their Reading & District Sunday League Premier Division clash, writes Richard Ashton.

Brown put his side in cruise control after netting his tally inside the opening half hour, with Danny Nicholson and Matthew Bark completing the scoring.

It was a fine team performance from the Young Men with James Morris making some fine saves, Dave Gill producing an amazing goal-line clearance and Mark Bolton solid in central midfield, but there was no doubt that Brown (pictured) was the star.

Kidmore End/The Mod Reserves remain top of the table following a 5-3 home win against Mortimer, while Richfield Rovers Reserves prevailed 3-2 at Woodley Wanderers and Barton Rovers conceded their game at second-placed Purley.

Senior Division champions-elect Dee Road Rangers crushed reigning holders Reading Irish 4-0, and Richfield Rovers drew 2-2 with Reading YMCA.

Woodley United had to settle for a 1-1 home draw against S.C. United in Division One.

The visitors went ahead courtesy of a breakaway goal on six minutes, but United levelled shortly before half time. A clumsy tackle gave rise to a free-kick on the edge of the box, and man-of-the-match Peter Shay smashed a beauty into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Le Galaxy defeated AFC Burghfield Reserves 3-0 in the Industrial Cup, but AFC Burghfield advanced with a 3-2 success at Eldon Celtic.

Man-of-the-match Dan Pringle struck twice as Loxwood finally ended their mid-season slump with a deserved 3-1 victory over Imaan in Division Two.

Luke Giles fired Lox into an early advantage following a whipped free kick from Luke Parsons and it was 2-0 at half time when Parsons set up Pringle for his first.

Imaan hit back in the second half with a stunning volley, but Loxwood put the issue beyond doubt five minutes from time when Pringle headed home.
