Langwith 2 Wentworth 2

top-football

In a fiercely contested match Seamus Kent twice rescued Wentworth from a goal down to salvage a share of the spoils with Langwith.

Bruce Starkey fired Langwith into the lead after twenty minutes, drilling his shot low to Matt Taylor’s right post after good play down the left by Danny Mullen.

But Wentworth’s reply was immediate, as great combination play by strike duo Dom Greene and Kent brought the equalising goal, swiftly eradicating any Langwith celebrations.

Langwith started the 2nd half in much the same vein as the 1st, with Starkey’s pace proving too much for the Wentworth defence to handle. They found themselves 2-1 ahead on 50 minutes, when Mullen turned from provider to goalscorer, slotting home after Wentworth had failed to clear their area.

Wentworth refused to offer Langwith any respite, with Andy Suggitt’s audacious 25 yard effort hitting the post and proving how close the gap between the two teams was. Substitute Russ Kitson was then brought into the mix, and soon found himself at the heart of the action when the coach of Wentworth, who was also interestingly enough the referee for the day, deemed Kitson to have been fouled in the area. Seamus Kent then wrapped up his second for the game, stepping up to slot home the equalising penalty with Simon Ward only managing to parry the ball into his own net.

The match finished 2-2 with neither side able to gain full control of the match, and Langwith will be disappointed to draw a game in which they really should have won.
