Football

Braughing Rovers v. Aspenden

Played at Braughing on Saturday last, this Hertford and District Junior League match resulted in a win for the visitors by six goals to two. The official referee not appearing, Mr Arnold refereed in a very able manner.

Braughing, winning the toss, took advantage of a strong wind and were soon attacking. After about ten minutes play they were awarded a penalty, and scored from the spot kick.

Shortly afterwards, J. Holmes equalized with a fine shot from a free kick. The Rovers then forced a corner which was headed through, and a half-time held the lead by two goals to one.

In the second-half, Aspenden held the upper hand completely, and scored five goals without reply, although Braughing made occasional break-aways, but nothing tangible resulted.

G. Holmes equalized for Aspenden, and S. Dowler gave them the lead. J. Holmes then scored twice, and H. Parker, who had returned to form, scored the last.
