Hertford Athletic v. Aspenden

Played on Hartham on Saturday last, Aspenden had to field a weakened team owing to illness, but after a good struggle came home with two points.

The ground was in a very bad state, one goalmouth being covered with water.

The Athletic won the toss and were soon attacking. After about twenty minutes play, they scored from a fine shot, giving the visitors goalie no chance.

Aspenden's left-wing then got away, and from a good centre T. Moule scored, making the interval score 1-1.

In the second half Aspenden did most of the attacking, and J. Holmes gave them the lead. Soon afterwards T. Moule increased the lead from a free kick.

In the closing stages the Athletic were awarded a penalty for hands, from which they scored. The Aspenden defence played a very sound game, their goalkeeper saving some fine shots.

Result - Hertford Athletic 2, Aspenden 3.
