DC
bounced back from defeat to hammer Earley Retreat 7-0 in a one sided game. It
did not take the home side too long to get into their stride, playing some
nice football and creating chances as early as the second minute. Mason
putting the ball over from distance. It was DC's leading goalscorer Simon
Langthorne who broke the deadlock though when Jensen found him unmarked at the
back post to guide the ball home. Chris Taylor then found himself unmarked at
a corner and turned and fired a low shot past the keeper from close range
after a goalmouth scramble. Jens added a third shooting from an acute angle
before Simon scored his second shortly before the break. His hattrick was
complete soon after the restart as the keeper made a terrible error in
clearing the ball. Simon fired into an empty net with the keeper left
stranded. With the game already won, DC handed Owen Temple his debut replacing
Kevin, whilst Chris and Simon made way for Danbers and John Harbage
respectively. Jensen added a sixth goal to the tally after battling through
the defense and scoring from another acute angle beforeNick delicately lobbed
the onrushing keeper from just inside the area to make the final score 7-0
The starting line-up was as follows: Darren Holder; Howard Cooke, Kevin
Pitkin, Richard Scaldwell, Chris Taylor, Richard Jordan, Richard Mason, Steve
Bell, Nick Smith, Jensen Langford, Simon Langthorne
