Line-ups:
Fantastic looking team-sheet - this is how it should be done!! 10/10
Teversal remain in 19th postion in NCEL Division 1 after this defeat to the league leaders. The scoreline does flatter the visitors a little - they were actually behind as the teams went in at half time. A great ball in from the right found DAVE COCKERILL who controlled well before firing home with 18 minutes played. H-T 1-0
90 seconds after the restart Emley were level through RUBEN JEROME, the striker hitting a shot from the corner of the box that eluded the dive of home keeper Simon Dye. STEVEN KENWORTHY put AFC ahead for the first time on 58, the simplest of tap-ins at the foot of the post, after the home defence allowed a ball in from the right to travel all the way across the mouth of the goal.
When Kye Pilmore was tripped by AFC keeper Adam Lawlor on the hour mark, COCKRILL restored parity from the penalty spot, the ball hit so hard that Lawlor never even moved as it fizzed past him.
Emley retook the lead two minutes later though, and this was a cracker of a goal! A free kick was awarded on the left of the home penalty area. With the home defence preparing for the customary ball into the 6 yard box, they were taken completely by surprise when the ball was fired along the ground to JOSH INGRAM some 25 yards from goal, and the no. 7 hit a sweet, well placed effort past the despairing dive of keeper Dye and into the top corner of the net.
ASHLEY FLYNN tapped home the visitors fourth from close range on 88, then as the game entered stoppage time, the linesman on the far side flagged for a penalty to the visitors. No-one other than the officials seemed to know why, but AFC skipper PAUL SYKES didn't care as he fired home from 12 yards. F-T 2-5
