Hide AdAldermaston started brightly and had the better of the chances, taking advantage of some defensive errors and Adam Rimmer had to make two important saves at key stages.
The second half was much more even and Sports began to control the game. The pairing of Owen James and George Coombes alongside the experienced Stidder was strong as the pace of the front three opened up the game.
The winner came when Coombes was brought down in the box and, after a long delay, Stidder converted the ensuing spot-kick.
