Nationwide Conference
Borough Fall At the Last
Burton Albion 2 Stevenage Borough 1
A last minute strike from Albion's Paul Carden condemned Stevenage Borough to their third straight Conference defeat. To make matters worse for boss Markl Stimson the home side came from behind after being reduced to ten men after only 18 minutes. Jon Nurse gave Borough the lead converting George Boyd's cross with a quarter of an hour gone. Burton then had Aaron Webster dismissed for up ending Nurse just two minutes later. Burton though gradually made their way back into the match, Keith Gilroy's effort pulling Nigel Clough's side level ten minutes after half time. Carden striking with a right footed shot in the 89th minute to send Borough home pointless again.
Stevenage: Potter: Fuller: Gaia: Henry: Nutter: Nurse: Miller: Beard: Binns: Boyd: Morison:
Saints Hit Rock Bottom
Crawley 2 St Albans 1
St Albans continue to struggle after losing their third game in the last four thanks to Jake Edward’s header 5 minutes from time. Saints could have few complaints though as the home side dominated proceedings throughout. St Albans took the lead against the run of play in the 25th minute. Paul Hakim rising to head home Ben Walshe’s cross for his eighth goal of the season. Former Stevenage man Dannie Bulman equalised after 56 minutes. Edward’s popping up in the area after some concerted home pressure to earn Crawley the points and condemning Saints to the foot of the table.
St Albans: Perks: D.Batt: Okuonghae: Theobald: Seeby: Hann: Davis: Marwa (Clarke 84): Walshe (Martin 84): S.Batt (Benyon 84): Hakim:

Déjà vu For Draper
Hertford 2 Broxbourne Borough 2
Glen Draper conceded a last minute penalty for the second week running as Hertford dropped two vital points at the Glenridge Stadium. In a highly competitive encounter The Blues threw away a two goal lead as Broxbourne scored twice in the last ten minutes. Hertford couldn’t have got off to a better start with Panios Panayiotou scoring their 50th goal of the season from close range after only four minutes. Dave Greenwood’s team failed to make the most of their early advantage allowing the visitors to have the better of the opening period. With chances occurring at either end it was Hertford who looked to have produced the decisive strike when Ryan Redford volleyed home his twentieth of the campaign after 66 minutes. The visitors to their credit refused to give up the lively Bradley Drysdale chipping onto the bar before Emiel Aiken gave them hope with ten minutes left. That set up a grandstand finish which saw Glen Draper adjudged to have fouled Aiken in the box a minute from time leaving Gazmend Dauti to thump home the penalty for a share of the points.
Hertford: Virgo: Marsh: Mcaloon: Ardilles (Sub Bakare): Draper: Panayiotou: Kilroy: S.Neilson (Sub: Eden): Redford: Cooper: Roberts:

Herts Senior County League
Result of the day was provided by Hatfield Town who thumped Hertford Heath 6-0 equalling their victory in the Aubrey Cup back in September. It was only Heath’s second defeat in the Premier Division and takes Hatfield up to 5th in the table. Lewis Field with a brace Craig Woodham, Adie Hamill, Kevin White and Jason Caswell on target for Town. Tony Wells got the goal that gave Codicote a share of the points against leaders Hadley as Jim Bundy’s team snapped their four game losing streak. Knebworth are 9th after a 2-2 draw with Met Police Bushey Barrie Chamberlain with his first for the club and Justin James the scorers while Sandridge Rovers crashed 5-0 at home to London Lions. Standon & Puckeridge slipped to the foot of the table losing the basement battle with Wormley Rovers 2-0.

Buntingford are safely through to the next round of the Aubrey Cup beating Elliott Star 4-2 with Mark Wright scoring twice. Wodson Park took pride of place in the Herts Intermediate Cup winning 3-0 at Hoddesdon Reserves thanks to goals from Steven Coughlan, Tony Kempster and David Speller. Lemsford who went down 5-0 at Welwyn Garden City Reserves and Little Munden beaten 2-1 at Bushey Rangers Reserves both bowed out.
