Football

Aspenden v. Allenburys

Played at Aspenden on Saturday last, and resulted in a win for the home side after a good game.

For about half-an-hour the play was very even, then Aspenden, who were always more dangerous, obtained three quick goals, H. Parker scoring the first two, and from a well-placed corner the visitor's centre-half put through his own goal.

Just before the interval the 'Bury scored. At half-time Aspenden were leading 3-1.

Immediately on resumption Aspenden attacked, and K. Smith increased the lead.

The 'Bury then scored direct from a corner, but after a melee in their goal-mouth H. Parker again scored.

Result- Aspenden 5, Allenburys 2. 

25th February 1927 - Football - Aspenden v. Hertford Athletic

Football

Aspenden v. Hertford Athletic

Aspenden were at home to the Athletic on Saturday last, this was the return game of a fortnight before which Aspenden won, so they Athletic brought a strong team, and fully deserved the point they gained.

In the first-half the visitors did the majority of the attacking, and only the excellent play of the home defence kept them from scoring more than once, this was from a penaty for hands, which gave them the lead at the interval.

The second-half was more evenly contested, and after a quarter of an hour's play, Aspenden equalized from a well-placed corner that S. Dowler headed through.

The visitors were then awarded another penalty, but the home goalie saved well from the spot kick. Shortly afterwards Aspenden took the lead, when a shot fell in the goalmouth which enabled H. Parker to score at close range.

The Athletic then played with renewed energy, and from a fine movement easily scored.

This was followed by midfield play, and no further scoring.

Result - Aspenden 2 - Hertford Athletic 2.

18th February 1927 - Football - Hertford Town Juniors v. Aspenden

Football

Hertford Town Juniors v. Aspenden

Aspenden visited Hertford on Saturday last, and although they lost by the only goal scored, they did most of the attacking, and were very unfortunate in not scoring on several occasions, but the muddy condition of the ground made foothold very difficult.

Aspenden opened strongly, and quickly forced two corners, from which they were unlucky in not scoring. They still continued their aggression which caused the home defence to be extended, but half-time arrived with no score.

Aspenden continued to press in the second-half, but could not penetrate the home defence. Just before time the home inside-right broke clean through the visitors defence well up the field, and scored with a fine shot.

Result:

Hertford Town Juniors

Aspenden - 0

Referee - Mr A.C. Walls, of Hertford.
