Under Strength Slough Well Beaten

Slough took a weakened team to Reading on Saturday and paid the penalty by being beaten seven goals to nil.

Steptoe and Pym were unable to make the journey and although Cordery was pressed into service at the last moment, they head to take the field with ten men.

At ten minutes to time, the score was 4-0 in favour to Reading. Patterson was then injured and had to leave the field, leaving Slough with only nine men.

In the last few minutes, Reading put on three more goals and won as stated.
