Langley down the Jets with a five-star away performance

After Charlie Crowley saved a point blank header from the offside Joe Kelly, the confidence of the visitors was tangible and Mitchell Weiss and Connor Toomey both went close.

It came as no surprise when a flowing move involving Jack Johnson to Nick Jackson resulted in Tom Carter opening the scoring from close range.

Weiss was twice foiled by good goalkeeping from Will Baker, but then Kings were awarded a free-kick in a central position 25 yards out.

Dean Hitchcock took two steps used minimum backlift to caress the ball over the defensive wall and into the top right hand corner with deceptive power.

The perfection of the strike stunned Jets and, although lone striker Lee Armitt forced a save from Crowley and then put a shot wide after the break, Kings continued to play some impressive football – striking twice in a matter of minutes.

Toomey rescued a lost cause ball on the right, teased and turned his defender and delivered a cross that Jackson converted with some style, before a Toomey corner was met with a spectacular glancing header by Johnson.

Weiss overcame a personally frustrating afternoon by finally getting his name on the scoresheet with a central run and shot, and Kings’ only late worry was a ground mist that fortunately departed before memories of previous painful abandonments took hold.
