Another Useful Point Gained by the 4's

Yet again it was a cold Saturday Afternoon as the 4's made the trip north to a chilly Letchworth

The game was tight in the first half, with not a lot of flowing Hockey from either side, with the main chances being created by Letchworth, with Geoff Hopkin making some decent saves. Hertford did get stronger as the half went on and came close from a short corner. Probably the highlight was one of the Letchworth players receiving a green card for commenting on the slightly inconsistent umpiring.

The second half started with Hertford making most of the running, without an awful lot of penetration. But finally a goal arrived with the ball coming to Andy (the Bullet!) Benson striking hard from the top of the D and in off the post (Maybe even both!).

The lead did not unfortunately last very long, probably around 5 mins, with Letchworth scoring a straight strike from a short corner. Both teams tried to push for a winner with Tony Morrison clearing off the line for Hertford and Andy Benson striking one just past the post. But the game finished with each team taking a point.

With Berko winning, the 4's are currently 4 points from safety (Table Below!). And a win vital next week against Royston.
