Do Yellas have the legs for eleven as Sparks fly in?
Ascot United will look to continue their good form with the visit of South Park (Reigate) on Saturday. The hosts, who have won eight and drawn two of their last ten games, are currently 4th in the league and welcome a Sparks side that have taken six points from their last six outings, leaving them just one place above the relegation zone.
The two sides drew the league’s curtain raiser in August courtesy of Taylor Morgan’s late equaliser, but fortunes have diverged since then with the visitors arriving on a three-game losing streak; most recently a 3-0 home reverse against Raynes Park Vale on Boxing Day.
Saturday’s online-only matchday programme is here. JT lauds his squad depth and has a message for the fans, and there is the usual columns from Simon and yours truly.

Looking ahead, Ascot’s Berks and Bucks County Cup 4th round tie at home against Hungerford Town is set for Tuesday 14th January, with the winners of that tie knowing they will entertain MK Dons in the Quarter Finals. But before all that, it’s Binfield on New Year’s Day!
