Home defeat to KPR

Much fancied for the League title, Kings Park Rangers emphasised their intent with a comfortable victory over Long Melford.

As seen in recent matches Melford seem to have a habit of early mistakes leading to early goals.  

In the first minute the impressive Jack Graham came within inches of putting Melford ahead with a fine effort.  

After only 5 minutes Kings Park went ahead, hesitation in the Melford defence allowed DANIEL COUSINS to rifle home.  

On 19 minutes the second goal arrived after a scramble in the Melford goalmouth, saw the much  travelled MATT HAYDEN convert from close range, as  defenders  might note  the old  coaching phrase was “if in doubt boot it out”   still applies. 

For much of the game  Melford  equalled  their illustrious opponents, but lacked in any real attacking intent! 

The second half  was equally balanced, but Kings Park always had more threat going forward.

Three minutes before the end  Melford fell to a quick counter attack  with  HARRY WILLOUGHBY lobbing  Ben Moye in the Melford goal. CHENOBERET
