Richard Scott came in for his first match since signing from Rides, replacing the Canada-bound Paul Martin.  The versatile Jamie Ryall started at right back, with Andy Corless at left back.

On a fine surface, the Wanderers passed the ball with confidence and purpose.  Early chances fell the way of Anthony Prior and Tom Soane, but the Finch 'keeper produced two good saves.

Wokingham were dominating the play, with the midfield duo of Darren Wakley and Dave Griffiths particularly impressive.  Their opponents failed to trouble them, and seemed lacking in attacking options.

After twenty minutes, the breakthrough came.  Tom Soane raced along the right, before finding Scott.  As the Finchampstead defence struggled to clear, the ball deflected off Scott's body into the path of Prior.  With time and space, Prior produced a cool finish into the bottom corner.

The remainder of the half saw Wanderers raise their game and enjoy plenty of possession.  On the left, Corless was getting forward to great effect, whilst only Finchampstead's dubious offside calls troubled the Blues.

Tom Soane picked up a caution following one particular suspect decision.  He then shot narrowly wide of the goal as the half came to a close.

The second half saw Wanderers produce the type of football that made them champions last season.  Confidence was clearly flowing.

Having shot narrowly wide of the target again, Tom Soane forced his way beyond the Finchampstead defence, and lobbed the ball over the advancing 'keeper for 2-0.

Minutes later and Wanderers added a third.  Ryall passed to Ian Griffiths, who delivered a fantastic cross into the box.  Tom Soane's volley was blocked, but the ball fell into the path of Scott who tapped into the empty net.

As well as playing some good passing football, Wanderers were also doing the simple things effectively.  Chris Hillsdon and Clint Falcus reduced Finchampstead to very few chances, and Mark Timms showed good handling from several second half corners.

With twenty minutes remaining, Dave Griffiths headed in Ian Griffiths' corner for Wanderers' fourth goal.

Phil Soane came on as the final whistle approach.  This gave Ryall the opportunity to play on the left wing, and he nearly scored too, following another fantastic Ian Griffiths' delivery.

It was left to Scott to wrap up the game, as he touched in Tom Soane's cross from close range.

In their final attack, Finchampstead forced Timms to save a low shot from the edge of the box.  In the end, the 5-0 scoreline was certainly a fair one.  This really was an excellent Wanderers' performance, and one the Blues will hope to carry forward into their remaining five games.
