W 4-0

Owen Hughes, Adam Pigden, Andy Latham (2)

Having let the team warm up, Shag duly graced us with his regal presence (the hangover had not permitted an earlier arrival!). The game started in its normal 'hurly-burly' fashion until Bar started to control the midfield, culminating in the opening goal from a free hit and susequent goal mouth scramble which Owen managed to sneak in 'silkily'.

Following a string of passes starting with a free hit, Danny Becker found Paul Brady who then pushed it through to Adam Pigden who provided a clean finish for the second goal.

Bar continued to totally dominate despite the absent Chris 'who are ya!' Wood. The third goal was superb, following good interplay between Becker, Edwards and Brady who found the ever willing Andy Latham and the goal strike from an acute angle was awesome.

3-0 at half time neatly reflected the balance of play and naturally West Herts upped their game. They were unable to convert possession into good distribution and were therefore practically no threat to a redundant Alan Field in goal, who apparently collected his P45 later.

Whilst Bar were unable to dominate the midfield as much as in the first half, they continued to enjoy at least 20 goal attempts from a variety of opportunities. The redoubtable 'RONSEAL' Andy Latham managed another tremendous strike from an even more acute angle than his first for the fourth and final goal.

Another excellent and very disciplined display all round from Bar. With WGC4 only managing a 1-1 draw against their own 5th XI Potters Bar have extended their lead to 5 points at the top of SW7 - still a long way to go!

 

Team: Alan Field, Spencer Hunt, Cliff Hawkins, Chris Edwards, Toby Seaman, Danny Becker (Capt.), Paul Brady, Liam Frame, Owen Hughes, Adam Pigden, Andy Latham
