Kings made light of the differing positions in the table to earn a draw with leaders Farnborough, but could have claimed the win if they had taken the chances they created. There was a symbolic release of black and white balloons to commemorate the third anniversary of the passing of friend, sponsor and supporter Matt Allcock prior to kick off and the match marked the 300th appearance of Club stalwart Gary Connolly.

Seventeen year old Chilean youth international Max Bustamante continued up front with Joseph Lawal switched to the wing and the combination of the two was to give Kings their first goal for four matches.

But the tone of missed chances was set in the first ten minutes when a superb Max Bustamante cross was onto the head of Alex Lafluer but directed over the crossbar. With the game flowing from end to end, both sides gave their opponents little time on the ball and chances were limited, but a Jamie Jellis free kick caused consternation in the Boro defence before being scrambled away. As the referee looked to end the first half, Jellis played a deft right wing forward ball to Joseph Lawal, whose first time low cross was steered home by Bustamante, who had got the right side of his marker.

The pattern continued after the break as a resolute home defence rebuffed the moves created by the wiles of the industrious Sam Deering, while Langley looked to extend their slender lead by sending on another striker. But as an attack broke down, Boro quickly countered and a fierce shot from outside the box by Frankie Sutherland gave keeper Jack Smith no chance.

As the contest drew to a close, Kings strived desperately to regain the three points, while a chastened Farnborough seemed to have settled for the draw, but it was a case of near misses and lost chances, summed up In the last minute when another Jamie Jellis cross was inches from being met by the head of Arel Amu and Langley had to settle for a point.
