Sun Sports 2 Kings Langley 1 1993/94 Aubrey Cup
Semi final showdown for Sun and Bovingdon
Bovingdon, last season's beaten finalists, can now look forward to a trip to Sun Sports in the semi final after they defeated Kings Langley 2-1.
Kings Langley opened the scoring through Paul Gash after 20 minutes and had it not been for some poor finishing might have been well in control by the break.
Instead, however, some slack defending let in Colin MacMillan on the stroke of half time while Stuart Kent seized upon a poor back pass what turned out to be the winner in the 55th minute.
The Kings cause was not helped when they lost Stuart Read through injury at half time and had to further reshape when they lost Paul Power midway through the second half.
"I was more than pleased with the commitment we showed," said Langley boss Kevin Andrews, "but we can not afford to make defensive errors like that."

Sun Sports 6 Sandridge Rovers 1 1993/94 HCL Prem
Sun shine
Four goals up after only 20 minutes, Sun Sports' clash at home to Sandridge Rovers was over as a contest, with them going onto win at a canter, 6-1.
Goals from John Field, Stuart Kent (2) and Colin MacMillan knocked the stuffing out of highly rated Sandridge and although they pulled one back they were never really in it.
Centre half Mark Goodman hit the fifth three minutes into the second period and the sixth in the closing stages following a run from the halfway line.
"That was easily our best performance of the season," enthused Sun spokesman Tom Barber.
"All the players are really buzzing at the moment. It would be unfair to pick out any one individual."
Sun Reserves completed a winning weekend with Richard Galvin scoring the only goal of the game to beat Kings Langley Reserves.

Sun smash
Among the chasing pack are Sun Sports and they did themselves a huge favour by winning at fellow hopefuls Met Police Bushey 3-2.

Sun Sports 2 Bovingdon 0 1993/94 HCL Prem
Still in there
A 2-0 defeat of Bovingdon maintained Sun Sports' challenge at the top of the table.
Bovingdon could not cope with the attacking and aggressive style which Sun employed.
Within the first four minutes a scrambled goal had put the Sun in front and they never looked back.
Another goal came only six minutes later and Bovingdon could never recover from the smash and grab raid.
Although they fought back well, the aerial battle was won by Sun stopping Bovingdon from the net.
Manager of Bovingdon, Terry Magee, said, "All credit to Sun, they really did their homework on us and put it into practice."
"We never competed at first and by the time we had woken up they were two goals in front. We played five at the back and, in hindsight, perhaps we should have taken the game to them a bit more"
"The referee didn't have a great game but we are all entitled to a bad day."

Sun Sports 3 Met. Police Bushey 3 1993/94 HCL Prem
Late goals nick point from Police
Two goals in the last ten minutes rescued a point for reigning Premier Division champions
Sun Sports at home to Met Police Bushey.
It needed late strikes from Paul Walters and Alan Langdale to snatch a point for Sun after they had seemed set for all three at one stage.
Playing against the wind in the first period, Darren Hardwick sent Sun into an interval lead after scoring in the 25th minute.
With the winds at their backs in the second period, Sun were clear favourites and had their fair share of chances.
But the Police shocked their hosts by getting back on level terms within five minutes of the restart when Colin Christie sold the Sun a dummy only to be brought down.
Renny Grant stepped up and dispatched the penalty.
Harry Baldwin then came on and his pace caused Sun instant problems, giving the visitors the lead in the 55th minute and then latching onto the end of a Grant pass to score the third in the 73rd minute.
For all the chances Sun had, they looked as if they would finish pointless until Walters and Langdale came up with the goods in the last 10 minutes.
The Police, with an average age of 31, began to run out of steam and Sun could have nicked it in the final minute.
"We had chance after chance," said Sun spokesman Tom Barber, "but I can't remember when a side last scored three against our first team."
"I thought we did well," said the Police's Jim Howard, "a draw was probably a fair result."
Sun Sports Reserves, meanwhile, won 2-1 at Bedmond Social Reserves.
Ian Pepper and Mark Williams gave Sun a two goal lead before a controversial second half strike gave the home side a consolation.

Chipperfield Corinthians 2 Sun Sports 1 1993/94 Herts Senior Trophy
Lowe blow
A last minute Alan Lowe strike saw Chipperfield progress through to the third round of the Herts Senior Trophy at the expense of Sun Sports 2-1.
Paul Webb gave Sun a 20th minute lead and they were further denied by the woodwork.
Nicky Lennox equalised in the second period with a brilliant solo effort following a 40 yard run.
Lowe then booked Chipperfield's passage with the vital strike a minute from time.
Sun Sports Reserves, the reigning league champions who lost their year long unbeaten run last month, found themselves 5-0 down by the break at home to Wormley Reserves.
"We were disgraceful," admitted Tom Barber.
"We were guilty of some schoolboy defending."
