WOKINGHAM & Emmbrook were beaten by a stoppage-time winner at Hellenic Premier Division leaders Marlow on Saturday.

An early Marcus Mealing goal and a last-minute winner from Ian Davies sufficed for Marlow, with Jack Gibbs netting for Wokingham.
Binfield continued the momentum of last week's midweek cup win with a 4-2 victory over Shrivenham.
Jordan Rowland scored his first goal for the Moles with a sweetly-curled free-kick just before the half-hour mark.

A helping hand from Shrivenham's keeper, who saw red, and Seb Bowerman's introduction late on sparked an improvement and he set up Jemel Johnson for the third, then scored the fourth after Shrivenham pulled back to 3-2.
Steve Leighfield and Chris Rivers scored for Shrivenham.
