Finally, at the fifth time of asking in the latest season of the Pitch Invasion Wandsworth Premiership, Kings Arsenal tasted victory.
After losing all four of their first league games, the plucky Kings recorded a crucial 7-5 win over relegation rivals Al Nakhla.
Luke Tinklin was back in goal underneath the spring sunshine after more than a month on the sidelines with knee and eye injuries.
He was joined by four Kings in the matchday squad as Chris Cahalarn and Davide Domengini made welcome returns, alongside regular duo James Payne and Mark Tinklin.
However, despite their familiar five, Kings Arsenal started slowly and relied on a goalkeeping error to get on the scoreboard, James tapping in when Davide’s shot was dropped.
Fortune also shone on the Kings for their second when a wild clearance bounced off birthday-boy Chris and nestled in the net.
Kings Arsenal took control of the match in the second half and Davide was central to their strong start.
Indeed, he scored a stunning goal straight from a restart, finding the bottom corner from the halfway line.
Al Nakhla got back into the game and their erratic goalkeeper smashed in a ridiculous half-volley, only to present James with an open goal after falling over the ball moments later.
The Kings had to survive a late scare and Luke made some trademark brave saves, but their hard work was rewarded with a long awaited and valuable win.
By the time the final whistle was blown, Davide had plundered three goals, Chris scored twice and James helped himself to a brace.
Who’s this James fella?
