Harpenden Town Reserves 2
Buckingham Athletic Reserves 1
HARPENDEN Town Reserves came from behind to beat their Buckingham counterparts at Rothamsted Park on Saturday.
Having previously dropped two points away to them, Town were keen not to repeat this again and they started brightly. Within the first 20 minutes Town created several good chances but some great keeping from the Buckingham stopper kept the scores level.
Then, against the run of play, an absolute shocking piece of defending allowed Buckingham to pinch the lead. Town kept dominating and five minutes before the interval Aaron Baker burst down the wing and his cross flew over the ‘keeper into the back of the net.
The second half saw Town completely dominate without converting any of their chances before the introduction of Stuart Love and Chris Ellis saw Town find their cutting edge.
