More play-off heartbreak as Langley beaten in Combined Counties League Final

It wasn’t to be for Langley in the Cherry Red Records Combined Counties League Division One Play Off Final as they were beaten 2-0 by Rayners Lane.

It’s a bittersweet moment for Langley though, 2022/23 is an enormous improvement for a side that will be no doubt thinking about automatic promotion next season and comes after a statement 7-1 result in the play off semi final against Berks County.

In the end it was a double from Lanes Jake Tabor that secured promotion for the home side who will look now to make a mark on the Combined Counties League Premier Division.
