HATFIELD TOWN 0 LONDON LIONS 3

It couldn’t have started much better as the Lions forged ahead within the first two minutes when Charlie Rubin’s cross was brought down by Mannie who teed up Nick Landesberg to smash home from five yards – giving Lions the perfect start – and an ideal birthday gift for manager Andy Landesberg.

As always, however, games against Hatfield require some steadfast defending and the pitch was not helping Lions attacking flow as the match remained evenly poised for over an hour.
