DC Steamers 0 Loxwood Park Rangers 1
For the third consecutive week, DC lost a hard fought match in the
90th minute. Steve Danby returned from holiday and filled in at left back
whilst Chris Taylor was dropped to the bench due to illness during the
week. Steve Danby didn't last too long in the game as he received a hard
challenge and was eventually substituted for Mark Jarman. Loxwood had a
lot of the posession in the first half but were unable to break the deadlock.
The second half saw Chris Taylor replace Jenson Langford and Nigel Giles
make his first appearance of the season for the injured Richard Jordan.
The game looked to heading for a draw until the Steamers found themselves
short at the back with a man over. The ball found its way into the path
of the opposing striker who passed the ball into the net in the 90th minute.
The starting lineup was as follows: Tony Dempster; Wayne Makepeace, Steve
Danby, Ray Townsend, Duncan Glen; Nick Smith, Stuart Brown, Richard Jordan,
Mickey Sheehan; Jenson Langford, Steve Bell. Subs: Mark Jarman for
Steve Danby, Chris Taylor for Jenson Langford and Nigel Giles for Richard
Jordan

Shinfield Borough Rangers 1 DC Steamers 1
A Steve Bell goal was not enough for the Steamers to leap over Shinfield
in the league. This being the final game for both teams saw the Steamers
make a great start and attacked the Shinfield goal in the first minute.
The first half half saw a lot of efforts go begging from the Steamers although
Shinfield had more of the play. Steve Bell notched up his 9th goal of the
season when he ran onto a defence-splitting through ball from Stuart Brown
to slot the ball passed the despairing dive of the Shinfield keeper. Shinfield
drew level midway through the second half. A corner was conceeded by DC
and the cross found the head of their tallest player. The starting lineup
was as follows: Nick Smith; Wayne Makepeace, Andy Holt, Ray Townsend, Duncan
Glen; Chris Taylor, Stuart Brown, Mickey Sheehan, Richard Jordan; Jenson
Langford, Steve Bell. Subs: Mark Jarman for Richard Jordan Subs
Not Used: Nigel Giles, Neil Wilson
