Goals galore in the West Herts League at the weekend

In the Premier Division there were goals galore, including when Croxley Community hosted Kings Sports in a game which turned into a goal-fest.

Kings broke the deadlock after being in the ascendency, but Croxley reacted well and scored two quick goals to take the lead.

The visitors battled away and equalised after a quick break, before Croxley regained the lead after a bizarre mix-up in the penalty area resulted in Croxley getting a penalty.

Kings were determined to get back in the game after the break and after some pressure scored to level it up at 3-3.

However, Croxley replied with two goals from set-pieces as Kings looked dead and buried.

However, as both teams tired in the heat, Kings continuing to show a never-give-up attitude and netted a fourth with just six minutes left.

With just a minute left, Kings dramatically grabbed the equaliser in a breath-taking finish.

There were also bags of goals in the game between hosts The Engineer Harpenden and newly-promoted Potten End.

It was a hard game in the heat which saw Potten take the lead on the stroke of half-time.

There were not many opportunities after that until the 65th minute when Harpenden were awarded a penalty, converted to make it 1-1.

The game came alive when both teams opened up, pushing for the win.

Potten took the lead and with 10 minutes left scored via a counter attack for a shock 3-1 lead.

But Harpenden, who were strong at set-pieces throughout, kept going and scored two late goals from corners to make it 3-3.

On reflection, a draw was a fair result.

Tring Athletic A went back to the top of the table after a 3-1 home win over Bovingdon A.

In Division one, new team Chesham United Youth got their first win of the season with a close 2-1 win over Oxhey Academy.

Hunton Bridge lost their place at the top of the standings with a surprise 3-2 loss at home to Global AFC.

Evergreen A also recorded their first win this term when beating Sun Sports Rovers 3-1.

Caddington maintained their 100 per cent record after a close 2-1 away victory at Oxhey A.
