Leighton Buzzard Men’s 1st Team vs Eastcote Men’s 3rd Team

Leighton started the game in high hopes after a win from the previous week. Leighton started with good pressure forcing Eastcote onto the back foot. Good professional play within the Eastcote's quarter allowed Leighton to test the keeper and were close to taking the lead. A short corner was won by Leighton and converted with follow up play by Dan Edwards opening up the scoring. Further pressure allowed Leighton to take control of the game and hold possession for a good spell. Eastcote countered and won a short corner, which they converted to tie the score. Leighton responded by applying the pressure again and taking a second from Tommy Lakins to form a well worked team goal with an assist from Nick Marshall. Another short corner was won by Eastcote, which was converted from a tight angle shot, to equal the score at half time 2-2. Both teams responded with end to end action, but Eastcote took the lead from an own goal deflection from Tim Bellamy. Leighton didn't settle and with fierce tackling from Clive Warncken created a lightning fast attack down the right hand side which resulted in another short corner. Great follow up play from Dan Lambert who tied the score 3-3. Man of the match: Tristan Hardy.
