Two men booked

Kings Langley's Johnny Rance and Brian Rose were booked in the second half of this well contested "derby" clash between two teams who boasted lengthy unbeaten runs to their credit.
Something had to give and as Langley struggled in the second half after failing to convert early chances, frustration took over.
Langley should have taken their first half chances but it is their lack of a competent marksman which will probably make the difference between a middle of the table place and a tilt at the championship.
Sun, with three successive victories behind them, started slowly and were lucky not to find themselves behind, especially as Roy Sealy hit the bar with a well placed chip shot.
This seemed to galvanise Sun who improved steadily but could get little change out of one of the League's three most watertight defences.
Seconds before half time Roger White, a chunky winger with considerable promise, cut in from the flank, beat Colin Tattam and then found the net with a left foot drive.
Langley will want to forget the second half.
The first of Sun's goals came in the59th minute, then captain Tony Faux fastened on to a pass from Eddie Rolfe and drove the ball into the net from 25 yards out.
Peter Nicholson earned the points and brought about the village side's first defeat in five games, when he sped through on the blind side of the defence to convert another Rolfe cross.
In the dying minutes, Barry Willis hit the post, but Sun, with Faux and Trevor Howkins outstanding, had earned victory.
