Match report
No. 48 Wednesday 23rd April 2014. SSML Division One Cup – Semi Final
Chesham United Reserves 2 (Cameron 62, O’Connor 88)
Kings Langley 5 (Jackson 8, Weiss 34,64, Insley 46, Bateman 67)
Kings Langley will appear in their third consecutive final of the Division 1 Cup after overcoming a spirited Chesham United Reserves side at The Meadow. Against a backcloth of rain that was to continue for the whole match, Nick Jackson was again quick out of the blocks, this time finishing from close range after Paul Insley’s shot was blocked. Mitchell Weiss showed composure to put Kings further ahead when he latched on to a long ball, wrong footed the defender, rounded the keeper and slotted home. For United, Tashan Dwyer was proving a handful on the left flank and Ant Ladyman had to pull off a brave save at his feet as half time beckoned. But It was Kings who delivered the killer blow in the first minute of the resumption as Danny Hutchins put Insley through and although Jack Hopwood parried his shot, he was powerless to save the rebound. To their credit, the young United side refused to capitulate and as the conditions became more treacherous, the game opened up completely as play flowed from end to end. Reece Cameron reduced the deficit with a powerful shot that skidded past Ladyman, only for an instant reply from Weiss, who was put through again to beat the exposed Hopwood. Chris Mason brought a flying save from the Kings custodian, who needed the help of his defenders to clear two off the line in as many minutes as United threw everything forward. The visitors took advantage of this approach when another Hutchins through ball gave Under 18 striker Matt Bateman the chance to finish with aplomb, but United couldn’t believe it when Ant Ladyman blocked a point blank effort that seemed a certain goal. A fitting finale saw an Insley shot cleared off the line, before indecision in the Kings defence allowed David O’Connor to slot in Chesham’s second and complete the scoring.
The final is on May 7th at London Colney against Risborough Rangers.
