Wokingham Town were founded in 1875, and joined their first semi-professional league in 1954; the Metropolitan League. After joining the Itshmian League in 1973, they got promoted to the Premier Division nine years later. In 2001 after relegation to the Hellenic League, and two unsuccessful merges, they joined Emmbrook Sports at Lowther Road. Emmbrook had been formed more recently in 1989, and Wokingham & Emmbrook was formed.
The team started competing in the Hellenic Football League Division One East in 2004-05, until they were promoted in 2009-10 and began a ground share with Bracknell Town in order to compete in the Hellenic League Premier Division. The club achieved four Reading Senior Cups consecutively from 2012 through 2015, with their first ever League title coming in the 2014-15 season in the Hellenic Division One East.
The club’s results in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons earned them promotion to the Combined Counties League Premier Division North.
Standings:
The Lions go into this weekend off the back of a tough away day at Reading City, which saw a feisty encounter end with multiple dismissals for Wembley. This could pose a selection problem with backups being required for the fixture. Despite this, the Lions should be looking to cause problems for The Sumas, who have struggled to find consistent form this season. Their last result came in the form of a hard fought loss at Edgware, where a seven goal thriller just edged to the home side.
Standings:
Wembley FC – WLWLL
Wokingham & Emmbrook FC – LLWLL
