Buntingford v. Welwyn

Buntingford were at home to Welwyn in a North Herts League game on Saturday last, and won after a clean fast game by two goals the nil.

Winning the toss, Welwyn kicked down the slop, and for a time the home defence was hard pressed. The first goal came after about twenty minutes play, E. Moule placing the ball square across the goal for Thorogood to score with a fast grounder.

Both goals had some narrow escapes, but half-time arrived with Buntingford leading 1-nil.

With the slope in their favour, the home team had more of the play in the second-half, and only good goal-keeping prevented them from scoring on two or three occasions. Thorogood had hard luck when a fine header hit the cross bar, but E. Moule made the issue safe when, after beating two or three opponents, he beat the visiting goal-keeper with a fine cross shot.

The visiting forwards tried hard to score, but Reed was very sound.

Tomorrow the Town journey to Kimpton, and the Reserves are at home to Little Munden.
