The Robins conceded a narrow lead in the second-half to lose 2-1 against Thame United at Larges Lane.

Bracknell, playing down the slope after half-time, opened the scoring through Sam Whiting on 54 minutes.

Following some neat passing on the edge of the box, captain Whiting curled the ball beyond keeper Josh Cockerill.

Thame responded on the hour when Conor McDonagh beat his marker and picked out Luke Ricketts, who scored from close range.

The visiting side found the winning goal on 75 minutes with McDonagh again involved in the build-up play.

He beat his marker and then rolled the ball across the six-yard box for Marcus Mealing to finish confidently.

Bracknell turn their attention toward the FA Cup this Saturday, and a extra preliminary round tie at Flackwell Heath (3pm ko).

After a fine opening day win, Ascot United were brought crashing down to earth with a 4-1 defeat to Flackwell Heath.

The Yellamen conceded two goals in each half before Leon Yarnie provided scant consolation at The Racecourse.

Flackwell opened the scoring on 10 minutes when Mitchell Woodward was on hand to finish at the far post.

The Heathens were gifted a second goal on 16 minutes as keeper Chris Grace failed to deal with a goal-bound header.

Grace spilled an innocuous effort from Gavin James, which squirmed into the net after bouncing in front of him.

Ascot thought they had pulled one back moments later, but a first-time Ben Knight finish was ruled out for offside.

Daryl Mclean was next to come close for the Yellamen, his rasping drive deflecting onto the angle of post and crossbar.

Flackwell made it 3-0 early in the second-half when James converted at the back post.

The Heathens added a late fourth goal as a cheeky back-header from Dan Rapley beat the stranded Grace.

However, there was still time for Ascot to salvage some pride, Yarnie tapping home in time added on.
