Match report
No. 41 Tuesday 3rd March 2015. Spartan South Midlands League – Premier Division
Kings Langley 6 (Hitchcock 4, Weiss 19, Hutchins 49, 57 pen, Campana 51, Atkins 84)
London Tigers 1 (Startin 83)
A crowd swelled by the offer of free admission saw Kings Langley serve up a fest of attacking football as they continued their quest for back to back promotions, mauling London Tigers in the process. Dean Hitchcock set them on their way when his low shot beat Pampolim on just four minutes, after good approach play from Alex Campana, who put a sublime through ball into the path of Mitchell Weiss fifteen minutes later and the speed and control of the in-form striker saw him round the keeper and slot home. Tigers were also playing some attractive interpassing football, but making little impression in the box and had to wait until the 38th minute before Philogene had their first serious shot on goal. The second half was also four minutes old before Lee Burgoyne found Danny Hutchins, who showed exquisite control to beat two defenders in a tight box and rifle home the third. Almost immediately, a four man move of sheer artistry began with Tom Carter’s pass to Mitchell Weiss, who turned direction and his man, took it to the corner flag and crossed for a central Sam Warrell to first time the ball to Alex Campana and he finished from wide right. There was still no respite for Tigers as Burgoyne won the ball, played in Campana and his shot was handled by Ngeno, with Hutchins converting the penalty. The last quarter was a quieter affair, as both sides used all three substitutes, but the visitors found some consolation when John Startin pulled one back seven minutes from the end, only for Danny Hutchins to again demonstrate his skills on the wing and pick out Daryl Atkins, who finished from close range. Laraba saw his penalty hit the post at the death after an over exuberant tackle from Joe Debayo, but by then Kings had warmed the crowd on a cold night and shown any new supporters what the faithful already knew. That Kings are on fire!
