SSML Division One
London Colney 0 Hoddesdon Town 2
After their recent run of four straight wins, Colney had an off day losing 2-0 to Hoddesdon Town on Saturday.
Blueboys goalkeeper Rob Munn was kept busy and he pulled off a cracking save tipping over a fierce rising drive from Steve Cawley.
A rare Blueboys' attack saw David Parkinson set up Sam Mitchell but his effort crashed into the side-netting.
The visitors continued to pressurise Colney and Munn did well to divert Tony Neilson's effort wide and Tom Dickie blocked another effort from Cawley.
