With a ten point gap between fourth place Flackwell Heath and fifth placed Burnham it looks like the race for the title in the Combined Counties Premier Division North is now down to four teams. You could argue with Reading City and Ascot United having games in hand over Egham Town and Flackwell Heath the race is down to just two teams. 

Ascot United have dropped only five points form their seventeen games played - these came in a 1-2 home defeat against Flackwell Heath in September and a 1-1 draw at Reading City in December. 


Reading City remain unbeaten in the league with the draw against Ascot United and two 0-0 draws at Spelthorne Sports and at home to Egham Town the only time they have dropped points so far. 

It's a huge week coming up for the current top two. The Yellaman, as Ascot are nicknamed, travel to Buckland Athletic in the Isuzu FA Vase Fourth Round on Saturday before welcoming Reading City to The Racecourse Ground for a league fixture next Tuesday which is the biggest game of the season so far!  

Before the huge top of the table clash The Citizens host Flackwell Heath this Saturday. Egham Town are also still on The Road To Wembley with a home game against Peacehaven & Telscombe.
