Newport Pagnell Town 1 Cogenhoe United 2
Saturday, 15 October 2011
An injury time goal gave the Cooks a surprise win at Willen Road in a dull performance by the Swans.
The first half remained goalless after several chances were missed by the home side and at time Cogenhoe were pushed back in their own half.
Robbie Bushell made the Swans pay and gave Cogenhoe the lead seven minutes into the second half when he scored at close range.
Keith Williams hauled Newport level with a 57th minute penalty after the ball was deliberately handle in the area from a long range effort.
Newport pushed to try and get the winner but Cogenhoe defended and cleared most danger.
As time went on the Cooks grew in confidence and pressured Newport which eventually paid off as Former Northampton Town striker Courtney Herbert scored the Cooks winner a minute into stoppage time.

First Team -v- Cogenhoe Saturday 15th October 2011 - UCL Premier Division
Match report by Mark thingyram
Newport Pagnell lost to a last minute winner from Cogenhoe new boy Courtney Herbert.
Newport Pagnell was hoping to get back to winning ways after they lost for the first time in five matches to the hands of S&L Corby.
The whole entire ninety minutes throughout was a scrappy affair with either side truly being able to getting going. Due to the match failing to come to live this produced frustration from both camps and it saw a lack discipline from both sides which meant the referee showing plenty of cards to certain players from either side.
Cogenhoe scored first early in the second half after a scramble in the Newport area which The Swans failed to clear which gave Rob Bushell getting the final touch as he bundle the ball into the net to give the visitors the lead.
Newport came fighting back as the referee gave a penalty to the home side after Alex Deakin seemed to have handballed it in his own area. Keith Williams coolly slotted home the resulting spot kick into the bottom right hand corner.
However it was heartbreak in the last few minutes for Newport as a scramble in their area saw Herbert getting the final touch which looped over goalkeeper Josh McAdoo and into the bottom corner.
The first half saw Newport having more of the clear cut chances in the opening period; early in the match Darren dykes was one on one with the away team keeper Pete Smith he shimmied past him well but the Cogenhoe defenders got back well to save the blushes for their goalkeeper.
Another opportunity went begging for The Swans as a mix up in the visitors area saw the ball land at the feet of Lewis Wilson but he pulled his shot wide.
Newport tried to put pressure on the team from Bedford to find the opener but were struggling to do so. Vinnie Shreives turned the defender but his attempt found the hands of the goalkeeper.
Cogenhoe had a great chance on the stroke of half time a long range effort from midfielder Lewis Leslie saw McAdoo having to tip the ball over the bar.
The away side came out the starting blocks quicker in the second half Sam Hevey curled his shot from twenty yards but fortunately for the Swans it hit the post.
McAdoo came to the rescue of his team mates as the Swans stopper produced a quality save from a powerful shot by Hevey to keep his side in the match.
Newport Pagnell lacked the cutting edge in the final third of the pitch even though they produced some flowing moves the final through ball or cross kept getting stopped in its tracks or cleared by the Cogenhoe defenders.
The back four of Town battled hard throughout the whole of the ninety minutes and it showed in the final ten minutes as a towering header from Deakin was blocked on the line from a sea of green and white shirts.
Next up for Newport Pagnell Town is away in The FA Vase to Henley Town on Saturday 22 nd October.
Newport Pagnell: McAdoo, Lagioia, Williams, Thorpe, Buss, Smyth, dykes, McBride, Shrieves, Wilson, Mulkien
Subs: Tapp, Brookes, Welch, Lynch
