Harwell Int 0 - 3 Lambourn Sports

Starting Line up: Leno, Langfrey, Rowbottom, Bone, Pleass, A Hendren, Fisher, Prior, M Hendren, Connors, Joyce. Subs: Goodey, Maye, Gr ffin.

The Management duo of Clarke & Mcnally decided to start both Bone & M Hendren after the pair returned from injury this week. Lambourn started the game well with Bone bring a security & confidence into the back four that allowed them to look in total for most of the game.
A centre back partnership of Rowbottom and Bone looks solid and the management were happy to see the two complement each others play. The passing game that the management crave was on display today allowing Lambourn total control of the football for long spells in the game.
Langfrey & A Hendren were combining well on the right & it was after a slick one two between the pair that left Langfrey with the space to pick out a pinpoint cross for in form striker Connors to head home his 3rd goal in 3 games. Joyce was having his best game in a Lambourn shirt to date, The hard working striker showed some fantastic touches, powerful hold up play & was unlucky not to get his name on the score sheet.
Prior seems to be playing himself back into form in his preferred centre midfield role & Fisher was outstanding in his last apperance for the club. The skillful Midfielder is moving to the USA & everyone at the club would like to wish him well in the future.
The sides went in at half time with the score only 1-0 but Lambourn deserved to be further in front.

The second half started out in the same manner & Lambourn soon added to the opening goal, Langfrey playing the ball across the box & a clever stepover from Connors allowed M Hendren to smash the ball home from 12 yards. Lambourn's passing game was a pleasure on the eye & the 3rd goal was a real team goal. The entire Lambourn team had a touch of the ball before working it to Connor's who pulled it back for A Hendren to slot home well. The away side now had the game in the bag & made 3 changes Griffin, Goodey & Maye replacing A Hendren, M Hendren & Joyce. The changes allowed Harwell to have some more of the play and they forced Leno into a good save before the end. Lambourn had controlled the game well & they look ready for the tough fixtures ahead.
The league and cup double the target as the club look for promotion this season.

Mom Fisher.

Some bad news came after the Sunday fixture with Langfrey hurting his knee & looks like it could keep him out for the season.
