SPARTAN LEAGUE LONDON TIGERS.....................0 Chalfont St Peter.........................3
TIGERS copped it from a Chalfont side smarting from their FA Vase exit one match before Wembley.
Last week's semi-final defeat to Glossop left a bad after-taste in Bucks mouths - although the Maida Vale side might have been 3-0 up themselves after 30 minutes on Saturday.
Crosses flashed across the Chalfont goal like howitzer fire in a frantic opening, with Hardy Pinto Moreiro loading the ammunition only for Edson Cata and Marco Tagbajumi to miss by a toenail in both cases.
When Renars Zarchenko left the frame shuddering from his close range piledriver,Tigers might have feared the worst. And, as sure as eggs are eggs, a speculative Chalfont shot caught a Tigers heel and deflected past helpless keeper Michael Power Simpson for 0-1.
A 70th minute second, together with a late penalty for the visitors, compounded Maida Vale misery.
MIDDLESEX LEAGUE DIV ONE FC Team.......................................1 SLOANE......................................0
A TEAM deep in trouble rolled away the Sloane on Easter Sunday morning.
And any hopes of resurrecting the Chelsea side's slim promotion hopes will depend on the return fixture in 12 days time.
Sloane thought they would garner an easy nine points from the last three games against relegation strugglers like FC Team - but the reality has been anything but.
Missing five regulars over the weekend, Sloane had keeper Albert McCausland to thank for keeping them in the game with two brilliant stops. But even he was helpless to stop an 89th minute winner that left his team hot and cross.
