horse and jockey 2-2 afc langold

4 subs for this one and a slow start from both teams and plenty of chances but poor finishing until shaun walker finds russ bird and the keeper out of position russ fires into an empty net for 1-0.
lots of chances for both sides but none taken until a h&j player takes his chance for 1-1 at ht.
after ht h&j came out the fastest making chances and they manage to take one to make it 2-1 and langold were struggling to keep pace with the opposition. and some cracking saves from stevie barsley and some big challenges from grant mansbridge kept them from scoring more but langold over came the slump and were starting to get back in the game.

30 yards out and russ unleashes a shot but the keeper gets hands to it but the power was to much for him and the ball bounces over the line for 2-2 and russ`s 13th of the season.
still chances at both ends and shaun finds himself on the edge of the box and waiting for the ball to come down it felt like this was the chance to nick it at the death but the ball took ages to come down but shaun fires it straight at the keeper.

motm goes to grant mansbridge
some good performances from russ bird and oliver elgy

Inter rother 3-4 AFC langold

Today we took on inter rother away and from the off inter were knocking the ball around playing some quality stuff and a mix up at the back found an inter striker though with an empty net 1-0.
That seemed to inspire or wake langold up into good first half display firstly with a corner from Robbie Gill which found carter Scott's head for 1-1.

Then it was the turn of new signing jordon walker after some nice play from Russ bird to find jordon on the edge of the of the box jordon lifts it over the defence and the keeper for 1-2 and langold looking dangerous in every attack.

A free kick 30 yards out and captain Grant Mansbridge lifts one into the box over the defence and the keeper flapping it goes straight into the net and 1-3

With langold now in control and Taylor Dennis and cater scott having a storming game it was the turn of langolds top striker russ bird who's a constant thorn in the side of inters defence with his pressing and runs he was rewarded with a chance and finish to make it 1-4 and continues his goal a game start to the season .

So ht and inter make a few changes and come out a different team pressing and passing and taking the game to langold, inter found the net twice and langold wasting chances making it a tight finish.

Inter had broken through and their player was clear with only the keeper to beat he lifts it up over him but it goes wide.

Great game to watch had a bit of everything.

Motm goes to taylor dennis for his dominant display battling control composure.

Afc langold 3-4 the lounge

Started off ok and a first goal from shaun walker sorted the nerves out a little still doing ok and that man russ bird pops up for his 10th of the season and langold looking comfortable and head into the break at 2-0.
A few changes at ht and the lounge came out better scoring a goal 2-1.
One of langolds changes was Leon Smith s return and scores a peach of a goal to make it 3-1 but for some reason langold took their foot off the pedal and the lounge grew into the game and scored 3 goals and langold having no answer that's what it ended 3-4 well played lounge never gave up on to the next one.

Next week.

Away at inter rother.

Wincobank 5-4 AFC langold

Poor start by us after 10 minutes we were 2 down but a long throw by Jonathan Tyldesley saw it flicked on by the defender into his own net for 2-1.
Shortly after a long freekick found the head of Jamie Tenwick-ford for 2-2 and langold looked a lot better and even took the lead through russ bird getting his 9th of the season.
But wincobank made a few subs and started to get a hold of the game creating chance after chance but another free kick from Grant Mansbridge found carter Scott at the back post for his first of the season.

With langold tiring wincobank took advantage and playing the better football scored 3 goals in the last 20mins for our first loss of the season.

Motm goes to russ bird for his effort chasing down and goal.
