THE St Albans Centurions junior teams clashed in Colney Heath in a dramatic derby contest last weekend.
Both teams were missing players who had school commitments, but out of the two, the Hatfield Comets looked the sharpest during the first half, so it was no surprise when they put first points on the board.
The New Greens Gladiators immediately stepped up the pressure at the other end but the Comets defence stood firm against lots of pressure.
