Football

Bishops Stortford made their exit from the Herts Junior Cup Competition on Saturday, when they were defeated by Buntingford by three goals to nil.

Although Buntingford won quite comfortably, their display was not some of the best. Both sides were to some extent "free and easy" in their play, due perhap in no small way to the state of the ground in the vicinity of the goals.

Martin opened the scoring shortly after the start, and the score remained unchanged at half-time. The visitors were rarely dangerous during the second-half, and but for the excellent play of their goalkeeper, whose judgement and saves won applause from the spectators on several occasions, the score against the visitors would have been much higher.

Thorogood tried some of his noted pot shots, and one which struck the bar with terrific force deserved a point; he eventually found the net with a fine drive.

After Hatchett (the right back), Howlett (centre-half) and others in the defence line had all endeavoured to score, Leathers, another Wyddial hopeful, score the third and last goal.
