Wessex Super Fixtures Alliance 17th October: Reading Vets 1: Oxford Hawks 2. Half past ten at Reading University on Saturday, was obviously far too earlier for the majority of the Reading Veterans squad, as some never really woke up and were beaten by a very well organised Oxford Hawks side. It was a disappointing performance by the [...]

Wessex Super Fixtures Alliance Haslemere 1; Reading Vets 3. As last season’s winners of the League, Reading were determined to start the new season with a win against an opposition which finished fifth in 2008/2009.

Wessex Supervets Fixtures Alliance Reading Veterans v Woking Pitts - 7th March 2009   Reading Vets maintained their position at the top of the league with a comparatively easy win by 5:0 against Woking Pitts.

Wessex Supervets Fixtures Alliance Winchester Vets v Reading Veterans - 28th February 2009 Fielding a very strong squad, Reading were soon in control of the game against what can only be described as a fairly weak team.

Wessex Supervets Fixtures Alliance Reading Veterans v Wokingham 21st February 2009 A game of two halves! Yes, without doubt Wokingham had the best of the first half but failed to score.

Polytechnic, being 3rd in the league, soon made it clear from the start that the Veterans had a real game on their hands. After the first quarter it could easily have gone either way, but [...]
