Herts Senior County League, Premier Division
Cuffley 6 Sarratt 2 (att 10)
Second time I've seen Sarratt this season, and the second time I've seen them concede six goals.
Cuffley's win was deserved, and ultimately easy, but the score was harsh on Sarratt. The early indicator of what was to come was Cuffley's fourth minute opener, a fine strike after a good move.
Cuffley's second goal owed more to luck, a clearance striking a Cuffley forward and ricocheting beyond the keeper's reach into the corner of the net. While the goal owed much to fortune, it was just reward for a spell of Cuffley pressure.
But by half time Sarratt had pulled level. Their equalising goal, just before the break, came when a rebound was turned in after a terrific long range strike was touched onto the crossbar by Cuffley's keeper.
Sarratt began the second half on the front foot, immediately pushing forward looking to edge in front, but they soon were undone on the break, within a minute of the restart.
Having gone back in front Cuffley added three more goals at intervals through the half, gradually snuffing our any chance of second Sarratt recovery.
The ground, at King George's Field, is fairly typical for the Hertfordshire's step seven county league. The sloping pitch is railed off, with dugouts, but there's no cover or hard standing beyond a small area in front of the clubhouse, which is towards a corner behind the goal nearest the entrance.
Basic, but welcome, four page programmes were available free from the clubhouse.
