Magpies beaten by league leaders

Sep 24 2012 By Greg Burns

AMERSHAM Town put up spirited resistance but eventually went down to rampant league leaders Harpenden.

The Magpies must have had their confidence shaken by a 7-1 hammering at league newcomers Southall three days before they travelled to Hertfordshire.

A brace from James Ewington cancelled out a David O'Connor strike for Amersham to hand Harpenden the points.

Chesham United Reserves faced a similarly tough Spartan South Midlands Division One trip to high-flying London Lions and went down to a heavy 5-0 loss while Holmer Green lost 2-1 at St Margaretsbury in the Premier Division.
