Aspenden v. Buntingford Town

Aspenden entertained Buntingford in a friendly on Saturday last, and were defeated by 4 goals to 1.

The score was rather flattering to the winners, and a draw would have been a fairer result.

Aspenden attacked strongly in the first-half, but it was the Town that scored first, following a melee in front of the home goal with the goalkeeper out, R. Pledger put through.

This was followed by some fine play on the home left wing and after some missed chances, E. Newman scored the best goal of the match, making the interval score 1-1.

Buntingford started to press in the second-half and an error by the home defence led to S. Thorogood scoring.

Aspenden attacked after this, and only some fine goalkeeping stopped them from scoring. A centre by the visitors left wing, which R. Parker had the misfortune to put through his own goal, and a poor clearance by the home-defence gave H. Clark and easy chance which he accepted.

Mr E.E. Dennis was the referee.
