for our lads

S&S Men's 4 visited local rivals Stevenage for a 1pm push back. Stevenage quick to acknowledge that we were a very different side to the one that had beaten them 10-0 two weeks previously.
S&S only being able to recruit XI players for this fixture including Robbie Richmond recruited from (the mighty) Blunham Cricket Club saw a 'best fit' line up with a 3-4-3 formation including a Sven Goran Erickson style midfield diamond made up of Edward De Luca, Marcus Pennington, Richmond and Alistair Wood.
A tough first half saw Shefford finish 1-0 up with Alistair Wood tapping in a miscue from President Gully. Dale Coverdan, Sam Giddings and Toby Morlidge doing well to essentially mark the opposition front line out of the game.
The second half saw a period of sustained Stevenage pressure with Dom Wright being called into action on a couple of occasion and tipping one ferocious strike onto the post.
The pressure finally lifted with Ben Stevens grabbing two goals in quick succession to put the game beyond doubt.

MOM - Ed De Luca for a confident performance against some physical opponents.

Donkey - Zach Christodoulou for neglecting to tell me to stop when we got to his house rather than a further hundred yards down the road!
