AFC Aldermaston are down to seventh in the Thames Valley League Premier Division after going down to a 4-0 defeat away at high-flying Reading YMCA on Saturday.
The Reading side sit second in the table and Aldermaston, who were missing five first-team regulars, could not spring a surprise. They trailed 1-0 at the break but conceded three more goals in the second half.
Aldermaston will be hoping to fare better on Saturday, when they host fourth-placed Cookham Dean.
