Greg Cup

Buntingford 4 v. Odsey 2.

On Saturday, Buntingford went on step further in the Greg Cup Competition, when they defeated Odsey by 4 goals to two.

The first-half was an end-to-end battle with scrappy play, and ended in a blank score sheet.

The second-half was a little better. Buntingford had the better of the exchanges, and Thorogood opened the scoring with a first-time shot.

Play improved, and Birkett, H. May and S. Pledger added goals. H. May, on the left wing, played a good game, and it was through his accurate passes that Thorogood and Birkett were enabled to score.

Towards the finish the visitors attacked strongly and scored two goals. The sky was now becoming very dark, and so was Odsey's outlook, the final whistle sounding with the town attacking strongly.

Sawbridgeworth provide the opposition tomorrow in the fourth round of the Herts. Junior Cup, and Buntingford will have to go all the way if they hope to win.

The final of the Benevolent Shield (Buntingford v. Pirton) on Boxing Day, will be played at Hitchin. Special buses are being run, and anyone wishing to travel must give their names to Mr S. Howlett as soon as possible.

The fare is 2/6, payable when the seat is booked.
