Buntingford played Hertford A on the town grond last Saturday, when they were defeated by five goals to one.
The weather conditions were ideal for the game, but the town team were evidently out of form.
The previous Saturday Buntingford played Hoddesdon and were also defeated by seven goals to one.

Rye Park v. Aspenden
Aspenden visited Rye Park on Saturday last with a weakened team, and were defeated by four goals to two in a fast game.
Having most of the play in the first-half, Aspenden missed many chances of scoring, and were only leading at half-time by two goals.
The Park got away quickly in the second-half, and soon reduced the lead, and then drew level.
Aspenden tried hard after this, but the home-side, encouraged by their success, scored two more goals, giving the visiting goalie no chance.
With a little more luck, Aspenden might hve found the net again before the end.

Aspenden v. Hertford Juniors
Aspenden opened the season on Saturday last, with a fine win at home against the Juniors in the Hertford and District League by five goals to two.
The home team, winning the toss, started with the wind behind them and were soon pressing.
Some fine play on the left wing led to the first goal. Aspenden were easily having the best of the game, and scored three more goals before half-time.
Their defence was playing a sound game, but directly after the change over the Juniors scored. This was followed by a goal to the home reds.
Towards the end the visitors made a fine break-away and scored a good goal.
Football
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.
