Match report by Chris Edwards This won't take long...On a cold Alice Owen's Saturday, Bar were without both Paul Brady and Spencer Hunt - and it showed. Against a very good Harpenden side who didn't appear to have an obvious weakness throughout their side, Bar really missed their two regulars and also underperformed. As a consequence Bar were soundly and deservedly beaten. A first half performance really set the stall out for the eventual result. Harpenden dominated throughout, although a few chances still existed for Bar to score and indeed there were to be goal chances for Bar in the second half also. Half time Bar down 3-0. A re-jig of a few positions at half time showed a slight improvement from Bar and it took a full 15mins before harpenden were to add to their tally as our midfield and defence upped the 'ante' somewhat. However, this was all relative, in the sense that 're-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic... etc, etc.' and Harpenden added their final goal 10 mins or so from the end to make it a 5-0 rout. It could have been worse, (we probably should have scored a couple) but NOT MUCH - and we must improve our work rate and teamwork in the passing department, we really looked like we were on a not-so-good 'first date' as opposed to knowing each other for years! Do try to get
down to training nights if you possibly can lads, and keep your heads
up - I believe we can really improve. ---------------------------------------------- Team: Alan Field, Spencer Randon, Cliff Hawkins, Terry Mabbett, Chris Edwards, Adam Reader, Andy Bye, Richard Atkins, Toby Seaman, Owen Hughes, Danny Becker, Chris Wood (capt), Andy Latham, Adam Pigden ---------------------------------------------- |
