A strong Veterans squad got a well deserved 2-1 win today away vs Chesham Vets.
Dominated the 1st half, should have been 2 or 3 up, but conceded just before H/T.
With midfielder Graham Hall pulling the strings 2nd half, scored a deserved equaliser through Peter Hay.
Despite the defeat against
@nptfc
Dev , there were many positives to take from our performance .
2 late goals killed any hope of us taking points, although we created some decent chances ourselves, and battled hard right to the end.

Finally we get the result recent performances have deserved. Lack lustre 1st half and lucky to be only 1-0 down v high flying
@PitstoneFC

2nd half totally transformed , and on the front foot from start to finish, with every player contributing….
Despite playing on a pitch resembling a farmers field , a strong performance by our Veterans side today against Cheddington Vets ended up with a 4-2 victory. There were many fine performances ….Kev Cotton, Ade Duncan and Ali Spooner in particular catching the eye.1/2
Hope your players are ok!
Here you go:
47” Kieran Barnard-White controls a long pass by
#4
Groves, flicks it over the defender and smashes it in to the top corner on the volley. Great goal.
54” Ollie Burchnall seizes on defensive hesitancy, and curls his shot past the MK keeper⚽️
A great 1-0 win today against Hemel Focus for our
@BerkhamstedR
Veterans that puts us back up to 2nd in the League.
Some decent football played , but a game of few chances. Our defence was rock solid throughout with Ricky Levenson and Froggy (MOM) excellent at centre back 1/2
Tonight’s starting lineup v
@AFC_Welwyn
⚽️ . A great learning curve for the 3 x 17 year olds and 4 x 18 year olds against a side packed with top non- league talent ⚽️
A hard one to take after losing 2-1 to a solid 2nd in the table
@Tottsfc
, but plenty of positives , especially the full debut of 16 year old CB Adam Jewell who was our MoM.
The lively Toby Head scored our goal .
Onto next week and the County Cup !
Winning goal came from a
@LEEBIRCH
corner……asked to play it near post , he over hit it and it looped into the far corner . In the bar after you would have thought it was goal of the season 🙄 2/2
Up the Vets 💪
Boys played their hearts out tonight against
@FC_Codicote
and got their rewards. MoM keeper
@RyanP2007
made some massive saves first half to kept it at 1-1 , Charlie Groves with the goal. Tactical change at half time bringing on 2 subs to stop their dangerous wingers (1/2)
Gave our all against Premier side
@tringathletic
but just fell short going out of the St Mary’s Cup 1-0 . After conceding a 1st half goal , the lads defended and battled hard but struggled to really threaten at the other end. 1/2
Our best performance of the season , refusing to let our highflying opponents settle, even when they took the lead twice. Every player did their bit, but Kieran Barnard-White ( 2 goals , 1 assist) just pips
@LoakesHarry
(1 goal , 2 assists) for MoM 🙌🏻. Both top class today 🙌🏻
With players away it will be a tough game against very strong opponents, however it gives us an opportunity to give 2 x 17 year olds their debuts into Senior football 👶 ⚽️
…the mercurial Tom Flanagan with two goals , and two more from Marcus Rivers late on sealed a great win. Thanks to
@PitstoneFC
for being great hosts , and manager
@Michael58785565
for the kind words even in defeat🤝
17 year old RB Jude McKay our MotM👏🏻
With Charlie Groves and 17 year old Tom Craddock bossing the midfield Raiders looked for more goals , and youngster Napier finished a fine team move to make it 3-0. Harry Loakes with 2 goals and an assist MoM. ⚽️
2/2 …but Kieran Barnard-White equalised straight away from a
@LoakesHarry
cross.
Draw probably a fair result in the end, thanks
@TCAFC_Official
for the hospitality, great club run by great people 🤝⚽️
Immense effort tonight by the lads against the league leaders
@AFC_Welwyn
, going down 1-0 , but pushing for an equaliser right to the end.
In a team packed full of teenagers, our 16 year old CB Adam Jewell was MoM after a majestic performance.
…..but with Jack Petrovic again excellent at the back we held on for the win.
Good performances from Napier, Shaw ,Chott and Loakes , however Bennett just pips Ozcan for MoM for his constant running up front, and 2 well taken goals👏🏻👏🏻

@Stony_Football
much better on the night, and again we had GK and MoM
@RyanP2007
to thank for a number of great saves .
With a reshuffled side due to players missing, and despite conceding early on, we raced to a 3-1 H/T lead…goals from Harry Loakes ⚽️and Lucas Bennett ⚽️⚽️
The mercurial Evan Napier added a 4th ⚽️midway through the 2nd half.
@caddington_fc
then fought back to make it 4-3……
In the last min Ali Spooner dispossessed their full back and set up sub Alex Chaplin to smash a swerving shot into the corner.
Shout out to Steve Hanson for a solid debut at centre back 👊🏻
This win that puts us top of the league. Up the Vets! 💪
