We again welcome the Town manager Joe Sweeney and his management team as well as the club’s committee members and supporters, and hope you all have a safe journey home after the game. In the earlier preview I referred back to the spirited 4-4 draw with then league leaders Tring Athletic which was in stark contrast to the following home game which witnessed one of the team’s worst performances of the season, a performance which saw us trailing 3-0 to London Colney at the interval, followed by an extremely scrappy goalless second PAUL PALMER period which ended in a mass brawl. After beating Potton United 1-0, they travelled We then lost our next game away to to Biggleswade and held one of the Premier Harpenden Town providing the Harps with Division title favourites to a 0-0 draw.

They currently occupy a strong last two away matches, going down 2-1 at mid-table position in 11th on 39 points. And Crawley Green followed on Saturday by a 2-0 with six clean sheets in their last seven games defeat by Potton United. Both those games they are clearly a strong defensive unit and featured three new signings and, although will be coming to Berkeley Fields in confi dent in both contests we showed plenty of spirit, mood. effort and endeavour we were not able to match that with the quality of our play.
