An excellent
afternoon's work as we defeated a Kingstonian side that came into
the game with a 100 per cent record, having beaten Ashford Town,
Corinthian-Casuals and Horsham YMCA.
The opening
goal came in first half injury time, Des Boateng was fouled on the
edge of the area, and Matt York hit the free kick past the
defensive wall and into the bottom corner. Just minutes before,
Jamie Byatt had hit the bar after our ex goalkeeper keeper Luke
Garrard, under intense pressure, failed to hold onto a
cross.
Garrard was
injured in the process and had to go off just after the first goal
went in. He was replaced by Luke Naughton, who had a brief spell at
Imperial Fields a couple of years ago. We scored our second after 78
minutes, when Naughton came off his line to attempt to catch a
cross. Amazingly he was out jumped by one of the smallest players on
the pitch, Jamie Byatt, whose back header bounced gently into
a vacant net.
Four minutes
later, Ronnie Green powered his way down the right before pulling
the ball back for substitute Jon Henry-Hayden to sidefoot
home despite the presence of several defenders. The K's scored a
consolation goal through Bobby Traynor in stoppage time, but
we were well worth the points.
