Spartan South Midlands League
Premier Division
ANOTHER win and another three points in the bag for London Colney, who were better than their 3-1 score-line at home to Holmer Green on Saturday, October 6, suggests.
Undefeated in twelve league games, with ten wins already, the Blue Boys are now four points clear at the top and manager Mickey Wright will be hoping to match last season's form from October of just one loss, "but we'd already lost four by then," he adds.
Lee Talbot opened the scoring, curling home from outside the box after receiving a pass from Dave Ross. Talbot now has four goals in four games since joining the Blue Boys in September.
A heavily deflected free kick provided Green with an equaliser before half time but the visitors were never in it in the second period.
The home team restored their lead when centre back Paul Young took the ball out of his own half and crashed a shot into the corner from 35 yards, and Ross added a third with a strike similar to Talbot's earlier goal.
The result would have been even more emphatic had Gary Sippetts not put a penalty wide.
That match followed a penalty shoot-out victory over Ruislip Manor in the Challenge Trophy last Wednesday, although Wright admitted that London Colney's attention is fixed very definitely on the league.
A big week for the Blue Boys begins at home on Saturday, October 13, when Bedford United come calling.
For the rest of the action, see the St Albans Observer on Thursday, October 11.
