TT No.146: Robert Davies - Saturday 15 December 2007; Herts |
|
A very cold day in Hertfordshire. I arrived an hour before the start at a warm club house that served food as well as the usual beverages. It was a feeling of disappointment and understanding that due to the inclement weather of the previous week no programme had been produced for the game. However Nik "Dr Evil" Allen furnished me with four copies of previous matches and a copy of the programme from the game from Debden Sports. The Evergreen programme is a very well produced 12 pager with all the info needed, a credit to the HSCL team.
Evergreen’s pitch is fully post and railed and has a small covered area at the club house end. This didn’t of course stop the cold wind that blew across the pitch. There are two other pitches in close proximity but although the nets were up they were not on use.
On to the game, delayed by 12 minutes due to a late arriving official and Whitewebbs kit of their usual green and white hoops clashing with Evergreen's white and green hoops! A quick change by Whitewebbs by turning their shirts inside out solved the problem.
Whitewebbs found themselves 2-1 down after twenty minutes and to be honest they had struggled to show their true form over that period. No more goals but plenty of chances before the half time stroll to the clubhouse for a hot drink and warm up. The second half saw an end to end game with Whitewebbs equalising from the spot. Evergreen earned all three points with a headed effort from a free kick with about 15 minutes left. A good game on a cold afternoon and another tick off for my HSCL list. FGIF Rating 3* - good
