Hatfield Town versus Stotfold in the Premier Division Cup at Gosling Sports Park
Unlike most non league grounds I visit, Hatfield is well signposted the reason being is because it is part of a large sports complex with golf driving ranges ski slopes and indoor sports facilities.
The ground is in a huge bowl with covered terrace and seating on one side.The rest of the ground has a walkway surround. However, the frustrating thing about watching a match here is the athletics track and only one ball boy in attendance.
Much of the time is spent on waiting for the ball to be retrieved and this is compounded tonight with a seven minute hold up with goal netting problems
Added to this the odd injuries and the first half goes on for 55 minutes.
Ashley Dray opened the scoring on 17 minutes for the 'Blue Boys' (Hatfield) fifteen minutes later Sean Herr equalised for Stotfold
Half time score 1-1
Like last week I was hoping for a result in 90 minutes to avoid extra time and penalty kicks.
Sean Herr relieved my concerns 10 minutes from time to put Stotfold into the next round of the cup.
Full time score Hatfield Town 1 - Stotfold 2
Attendance 53
Programme very good.
Food available in the bar of the clubhouse.
