BUNTINGFORD'S first game away to Melbourn saw them punished by two late goals which, if anything, didn't reflect the performance the youngsters had given.

Some great goalkeeping from Charlie McKenzie, including a penalty save, plus some very good all round play from Jack Saggers kept Buntingford in it, but their opponents scored in the last five minutes when it was too late for Buntingford to come back.

ON a warm afternoon the Cougars were punished early on for some sloppy defending and then a wicked deflection gave the home side a two goal advantage before the Cougars had even mounted an attack on goal.

With a mountain to climb the Cougars struggled to find their form and some fine defending from the home side kept their front men quiet, however the Cougars went further behind after another deflection had put keeper Tim Rice into a race with the Green forward only to be beaten to it and the ball was prodded home.

In the second half Buntingford had the slope to their advantage but struggled to find the net with the Green keeper making several good reflex saves.

It took a wild tackle on Scott Piggott to wake the Cougars who scored an excellent goal via Alfie Long from the subsequent free kick.

Cougars continued to dominate play but were hit on the break by Green, but they still weren't finished and added to their tally with a Michael Holland penalty.
