Thames Valley Premier League round-up: Marlow slump to defeat while Maidenhead stay unbeaten

Marlow United slumped to defeat against Wraysbury Village in a six-goal encounter at the Memorial Ground on Saturday afternoon.

In their first match since re-joining the Thames Valley Premier League, the Flying Blues were grounded 4-2 with Neil Austin scoring both of United’s goals.

But with 10 of the starting 11 tasting their first ever fixture of step seven, Matt Letts’ new look United side came away from the match a little bruised but a lot wiser.

They will look to go again this weekend against Woodley United at home.
