Mapgies concede late to lose at Kings Langley

Oct 4 2009 By Greg Burns

AMERSHAM Town conceded a late goal to lose 3-2 away at Kings Langley on Saturday.

The Magpies had to pull themselves back from 2-0 down after a woeful first half performance but were undone by a Nathan Poole goal on 80 minutes.

Town went into the game on the back of a 6-0 league victory last weekend but struggled from the outset with Dean Sinclair gave Langley the lead after five minutes.

Man of the match was Magpies goalkeeper Alvin Pickering who made a host of saves to ensure Town went into half-time only trailing by the solitary goal.

But the home side doubled their lead on 50 minutes through Lee Waryszniuk which finally kicked Town into shape.

They pulled a goal back five minutes later through a low drive by Kyle Anthony before equalising with a spectacular goal on 60 minutes.

A long throw from Rob Baker fell to Tobi Akin who, with his back to goal, scored with a overhead kick.

But all their good work was undone with ten minutes to go when Poole was able to skip past a lacklustre Magpies defence to score the winner.
