The impressive run continued as Kings swept aside Aylesbury Vale Dynamos to register their
third consecutive win and rise up to seventh in the table. Louie Collier was undoubtably Man
of the Match, scoring all of Kings four goals (a feat he last performed against Kempston
Rovers 18 months ago), but this was another flowing team performance in another unchanged
side.
Dynamos started strongly and put Kings under early pressure, with a header just over from a
corner, but Kings got the advantage of another early breakthrough following a five man
passing move ending with a fierce Edu shot being blocked by keeper George Zammit, only to
fall to Louie Collier who fired the rebound home, a sequence that had echoes of the first goal
against Potton three days earlier.
Ten minutes later a Collier bullet was athletically tipped away by Zammit, but Kings were not
to be denied as the sheer strength and determination of Kieran Turner saw him ride three
challenges to slip a through ball to the ebullient Collier who finished with aplomb to give Kings
a comfortable interval lead.
The visitors emerged with more purpose and enjoyed more possession but lacked a cutting
edge, while the rate of Kings’ attacks lessened, although it transpired that this was merely a
lull as Turner’s deft header into the path of Collier put him one on one with the keeper, only for
his curling shot to beat Zammit but pass inches wide of the post. Frustrated by seeing the
chance of his hat trick pass by, the striker was helped by an enormous clearance from Charlie
Crowley that deceived both defender and keeper and leave him a virtually clear net to guide
the ball into.
If the home custodian was elated to figure on the list of assists and then pull off a good save
from George Bishop twelve minutes later, then his mood would have soured soon after when
the defence made its one mistake of the game to allow a low cross to be tapped in by Bakary
Daffeh and rob him of a consecutive clean sheet.
Louie Collier also seemed to take it personally as, not content with resting on his laurels, he
won the ball, fought off a defender and slipped the ball through the legs of the beleaguered
Zammit to round off the scoring two minutes from the end of normal time.
There was a nice gesture from the management who took him off a minute later to receive a
standing ovation from the crowd, who were treated to the sight of substitute keeper Connor
Coulson enter the field as a striker for the last few minutes. Sufficient to say, it was probably
not how he envisaged his debut for the Club!
