All eyes on Rivermoor when Woodley united with leaflets and read the city to take-off

Two matches in and Woodley United are the top of the joint district league division.

This is a little different from the 2024/25 season when the Jordan Blake team left him until the last match of the season to appear on the dotted line of relegation for last season, but no doubt is relief that was greeted after pre-season hard work.

The phone call to Jordan is not required to know that Kestels will not be too carried away after a 2-1 victory over the degraded Wembley and 4-2 victory over FC Deportivo Galicia on Tuesday night.

But the comparison with last season is a valid season and you will not regret the team to take a moment to enjoy the view from the peak – at least until the role of Ballers Kensington who increased to read on Saturday.

Meanwhile, landlord Woodley Reading City started their Premier League Division in North on Wednesday night with a trip across Berkshire to Burnham.

Simon Johnson’s side will have high hopes for this season with a series of impressive signings from Harrison Bayley to Ash Artwell and Stefan Brown strengthen the side in the transition phase last season after reaching the play-off at 2023/24.

After the opening season, City will head to Cirencester Town on Saturday in the preliminary round of the FA Cup with Milton United or Didcot Town waiting for the winner in the preliminary round.
