Atletico Reading went into the game against the Birch hungry for another win,
They piled on the pressure straight away making it difficult for the Birch to break out of there own half.
The birch was under constant bombardment with Atletico picking the back four apart.
Best chance came when Andrew Crawford chipped the ball to the back post and Andrew Neylan met it with a diving header, It looked certain to go in but only to be stoped by a fantastic save by the Birch keeper.

Not long after that Jamie France grabbed the 1st goal linking up well with Andrew Neylan inside the Birch area.

As the game went on Atletico grew stronger, Toby Mowatt doing a great job keeping the defense strong and together making it very difficult for the birch to get anywhere near the Atletico's goal.

The Birch started to look unsettled and tried to get physical but Atletico stuck to there game and ended up winning a penalty Mark Sturgess stepped up and done what he does best smashing the ball in the roof of the net that's 3 in 3 for Mark so far this seasoni.

Atletico kept possession and looked very dominate all through the 1st half and there was certainly more chances on the way Andrew Neylan layed the ball off to Jamie France who hit a 1st time shot on the edge of the box to slot it past the keeper for his 2nd of the game.

2nd half was a more dominant performance from Atletico, Keeping possession stringing passes together making the birch work hard at this point Atletico looked to have control of the game

The birch grabbed a conselation goal when there was a slight lack of concentration and they managed to get a cross in that was put past Atletico's Keeper.

Matty Burns was awarded Man Of The Match for a solid performance all game!

Atletico are now starting to show who they really are and are gradually moving up the table.
