Division One

Queens Head Sandridge fought out an entertaining 4-4 draw with Oaks on Sunday.

Queens got of to the worst possible start when Oaks took an early lead through Rob Deveau before Tommy Esom equalised with a long-range effort. Queens went ahead 10 minutes into the second half when Ian Porter rolled back the years with a Cruyff turn followed by a superb 30-yard effort.

Oaks then worked two set pieces to score two headed goals to take the lead back thanks to Haydn Williams and Matt Fulcher. A fluffed catch by the Oaks keeper left Esom a free header to level things up and a fine strike from Dan Megias from 20 yards gave Queens the lead before another set-piece resulted in a scrambled equaliser for Oaks through Harry Hunt.

Brookmans Park came out on the wrong side of a 3-2 defeat against local rivals FC Potters Bar. Two goals either side of half time gave Potters Bar the lead but Adam Davies replied but a further Bar goal saw them keep their two goal advantage.

AFC Mymms secured a late 3-2 win over Blacksmiths. Mymms started well with Dan Boucher slotting home a shot under the Blacksmiths keeper. A few minutes later Simon Skeggs volleyed Mymms into a 2-0 lead. Mymms pressurized the Division Three leaders extremely well throughout the game and held on until late on in the second half when Blacksmiths netted twice to take the score to 2-2. The game looked to be heading to extra time when Steve Havard latched onto a poor back pass to flick the ball to Chris Cowley who calmly scored into an open net.

A young Precision side proved to good for Queens Head Res in a 6-2 win. However Queens got off to a good start through David Yeo’s strike.

Chris Wickens equalised before Jack Hamilton restored Queens’ lead with a fine individual goal.

Brookmans Park A put up a great performance against Vision Res winning 4-2. Having to shuffle the team around following some player no-shows, normal centre half Gary Prime stole the show with a hat-trick playing in a forward role. James Purcell also scored for Park with a fine finish. Toby Hanlon was also on target but at the wrong end. Rob Egan was outstanding in Park’s midfield.

In a close fought game, Cottonmill came out 2-1 winners against St Albans Royals.
