Buntingford v Ickleford Social
On Saturday last Buntingford entertained Ickleford Social in a North Herts League fixture, and being without Thorogood, Birkett and H. May, did well to win by three clear goals.
Ickleford won the toss, and set Buntingford to kick up the slope against a very strong wind. Both goals had narrow escapes, but nothing was scored in the first half.
With the wind at their backs, Buntingford had more of the play in the second half, and a goal was forthcoming through E. Moule, who, receiving a through pass from E. Pledger, scored with a low drive.
Howlett got the second following a melee in front of the visitors' goal, and E. Moule the third.
Under the conditions good football was out of the question, the high wind making the ball very difficult to control.
