No. 12 Saturday 20th September 2014. Spartan South Midlands League – Premier Division
St Margaretsbury 1 (Anstead 30)
Kings Langley 3 (Atkins 36, 71, Weiss 49)
After five games without a victory, Kings returned to winning ways with an accomplished performance at St Margaretsbury. They fashioned three good chances in the first ten minutes, a lob from Mitchell Weiss, a deflected shot by new signing Daryl Atkins and a drive by Danny Hutchins as they dominated the opening exchanges. Grateful to survive intact, the Bury worked their way back and a curling shot by Matt Mitchell on the half hour was well tipped over by Ant Ladyman. But within a minute, a poor crossfield pass by Warren Plowright was intercepted and the block fell to Mitchell to unselfishly square for Ant Anstead to net with ease. A stunned Kings responded with a Weiss shot palmed to safety, but the striker’s run and penetrating cross a minute later found Daryl Atkins, who opened his account with a well taken equalizer. A repeat of their goalscoring move almost restored the Bury’s lead as the Kings defence gave their travelling support palpitations, but Ant Ladyman came to the rescue with a save with his legs from the oncoming Charlie Edwards. Kings, however, got the reward their increasingly flowing football deserved in the early minutes of the second half when a lofted cross caused confusion in the home box and a grounded Mitchell Weiss stabbed the ball home. The Kings’ number one was called on to execute another athletic tip over from a free kick, but Kings were now in control and when Connor Toomey’s searching wing pass was crossed by Danny Hutchins to give Daryl Atkins a dream start with a turn and shot under pressure, the points were won. Alex Campana hit the bar as the visitors coasted home and the only blot on grey autumnal afternoon was a confrontation after the final whistle that was dealt with by the officials.
