SAMI IS THE STAR AT GANG WARILY

- By Tony Croft

SAMI Makhloufi inspired Blackfield & Langley to victory in a five-goal thriller against Melksham Town.

In the 14th minute, Jon Davies’ free-kick from 20 yards was deflected past Lewis Noice in the home goal but Rudy Plummer levelled after Sami Makhloufi’s shot was parried.

In the second period, Noice kept out a Melksham penalty and then, two superb goals turned the game in their favour, Makhloufi hitting an unstoppabl­e shot into the top corner before wriggling through the visitors’ defence to tee up Oliver Balmer to hit home.

Melksham’s Davies found the net again but his second goal proved little more than a consolatio­n.
