The Don John let a two goal lead slip and come away with a point. On reflection a point was a fair result after AFC never really got going. Early on the Don were put under pressure and were caught out time and time again by the ball down the left. The first real chance came when the midfield didn't close down there player and slotted through to there winger, he was taken out by Simon Haywood but the ball fell to there forward clean through but was well saved by Steve.
Moment later a ball out to Justin on the right and a ball forward to Stepho who looked up and scored a screamer from 30 yards out, lobbing the keeper to make it one nil. This was against the run of play but the Don broke with ruthlesness.
1 - 0
Again Hare & Hound came at the Don but the defence didn't buckle, the Don broke again this time a cross field ball again by Justin found Dom on the left and with a truely amazing solo effort beat three players and then powered home to make it two nil, the Don wasn't playing well but didn't look like slipping up.
2 - 0
With half time fast approaching H & H tried in vaine to brake down the Don's defence but was unable too, and only managed one more shot of any concern whihc was tipped around the post in the remaining of the first half.
Half Time 2 - 0
With a roasting at half time we were expecting the Don to come out firing but with the effort level from several players not being to there normal level the Don couldn't really cause H & H any problems. The H & H put the don under pressure forcing several corners but good keeping & defending cleared there lines. Again the Don broke this time forcing H & H into a foul on the edge of there box. The resulting free kick was goal bound until a great save from there keeper tipped it onto the post and then out for a corner. Moments later the Don thought they'd sealed the game when a long range strike from Ben Rogers beat there keeper only for the ball to rattle the cross bar a bounce clear.
It was then the turn of H & H to attack this time a coner wasn't cleared and a tame shot from there centre half was going straight to Steve until Lee diverted the ball and wrong footed our keeper 2 - 1 and another own goal!
2 - 1
Again the Don looking a little tired pushed forward and forced another save from there keeper, when another long range strike by Ben Rogers was well saved. Again the Don was made to rue these chance's when a ball forward lead there forward to be clear but was saved by Steve, he roled the ball out to Lee who dropped it in to Justin, Justin was in a blind alley when three men pounced there was no support from his team mates and tried to beat them, he was tackled and the lose ball lead to there midfielder to be clear he was one on one and had a shot, it was well saved but the re-bound spun up hit him in the face and the ball flew in to the net despite the best efforts from Matt.
2 - 2
With time fast running out the Don pushed for the winner but never came, a little more effort and this would have been another 3 points for the Don.
