Pressure Builds As Borough Crash Again
Tamworth 2 Stevenage Borough 1
Stevenage Borough are still looking for their first win of the season after returning from Tamworth empty handed. The home side even survived for 23 minutes with ten men after Alan Neilson was red carded as Mark Stimson was left a frustrated man. Tamworth took the lead just after the half hour when Taiwo Atieno's shot was deflected into his own net by Borough's Jon Nutter. Atieno added a second heading home John Mcgrath's free kick 7 minutes into the second half before George Boyd gave Borough hope with his 57th minute effort.
Stevenage: Julian, Fuller (Dobson 54), Gaia, Goodliffe, Nutter, Hicks (Henry 54), Miller, Lee, Guppy, Morison, Boyd (Stamp 84)
SNU: Potter, Oliver
Spartan South Midlands League
A goal from Matt Watts gave Hertford a 1-1 draw with Holmer Green at the Goodridge Stadium. The Blues are now 4th in the early league table. Colney Heath earned their first point after holding neighbours London Colney to a goalless draw. Welwyn Garden City made it two wins in a row beating Aylesbury Vale 2-1 at Herns Lane. Edgware maintained their 100% record at the top of the table thinaks to a 4-0 win at Kingsbury.
Herts Senior County League
Buntingford moved to the top of the Premier Division after a 2-0 win at Elliott Star. Gary Christie and Jan Stephens on target for Town. Hertford Heath are second on goal difference after a Phil Davies goal gave them a 1-1 draw at home to Bushey Rangers. A Fraser Triggs goal wasn't enough to stop Knebworth going down 2-1 at home to Bedmond while Sandridge beat Wormley 2-0. In Division One Lemsford maintained their 100% record by beating Park Street 2-0 with goals from Neil Draper and Chris Jones.
Hatfield Town are comfortably through to the 2nd Round of the Aubrey Cup beating Mill End 6-2 Leigh Cavenagh grabbing a hattrick. Plenty of goals in the 2nd Round ties with Cuffley beating Wodson Park 7-4 after extra time and Allenburys losing by the odd goal in eleven at Buckhurst Hill. Standon & Puckeridge's poor start continued as they crashed out 4-1 at North Mymms, no joy also for Codicote beaten 1-0 at home by Hadley.
