No. 14    Tuesday 1st October 2013.     Spartan South Midlands League – Challenge Trophy – Round 1
Kings Langley                8 (Pritchard 30,90+3, Insley 36, 38, 45, Weiss 64, Hitchcock 81, Campana 90+2 )
Buckingham Athletic    1 (Wiffin 28)
Kings made 7 changes to Saturday’s team , handed debuts to three players and still hit eight goals to make it nineteen in three days. They created at least four good chances in the first twenty minutes, missed them all and then found themselves behind to a Ryan Wiffin aftermath of a free kick. That lead was to last for two minutes as Joe Gallagher and Paul Insley combined to put Lewis Pritchard clear and his cool lob deceived the keeper. Insley then embarked on a run that saw him complete a hat trick in eight minutes before half time, firing home as the defence appealed for offside, flicking on a Craig Preston header and finally being on the end of superb move between Joe Gallagher and Connor Toomey. After a quiet opening twenty minutes to the second period, debutant Beau Amos and Gary Connolly interchanged passes to give Paul Insley a close range shot and the rebound was forced home by Mitchell Weiss, making a substitute’s debut. As the visitors, who had protested about every decision from the off, steadily racked up a count of yellow cards, Dean Hitchcock hit a 25 yard rocket into the roof of the net and the referee responded to a another tirade with a Buckingham dismissal in the 88th minute. It was of little consequence to Kings, who weaved patterns of play at high speed across the pitch as they added two more, an Alex Campana acute drive and a Lewis Pritchard half volley, in the three minutes of added time. Another great team performance, and one that must give the management some pleasing selection problems
