Starting Line Up: Kingston, Pagliaroli, Keller, Pleass, Bone (c) Griffin, Langford, Matthews, Guy, Mooney & Gregograce Subs Collins, Dundas & Brizell.
Lambourn were left a little short on numbers for this fixture with serval players not available and top scorer Pedder leaving the club for Hungerford Town, Lambourn management left stunned after only reading the news that Pedder had left in the local paper. Manager Clark is still waiting for Pedder to explain his reasons for leaving but has been unable to contact the player.
The game started well for the Home side & they took the lead after only 5 minutes when Mooney delivered a quick free kick to Guy who's effort deflected in off Finchamstead's Sam Dunn. Guy came close again on 20 minutes after a cross from new signing Gregograce, His diving header was well saved. That was as good as it got for Lambourn and on half hour Atkinson pulled the away side level a near post corner was flicked on and the lively striker volleyed in from ten yards.
HT 1-1
Finchampstead started the second half sharper and created a couple of chances before they took total control of the game on the hour mark as goals Green scored from another set piece with a deflected effort and Atkinson wrapped up the points when skipper Bone tried to take a quick free kick only to see the ball deflect off a finchamstead player & into the path of Atkinson, His pace took himthrough on goal and he gave Kingston no chance with a calm finish. Green would his 2nd before the end when Keeper Kingston made a great tackle on the edge of his area and the ball dropped towards Green on the half way line, He smashed the ball on the volley and it dropped over Kingston into the net. Lambourn were given a chance of a consolation goal just before the end after the referee gave them a penalty for a shirt pull. Up stepped ice cool Griffin who has never missed a penalty before this game but his proud record was gone when he dragged his effort wide. With that miss came the final whistle & Lambourn were left to reflect on one of the worst performances of the season.
