LEAGUE TITLE AGONY....

With Blues  needing to win both of their matches

to have any chance of taking the league,we went ahead in the opener against Barnet through a well-taken Mark Hughes goal.  

Barnet created a few chances but good goalkeeping by our manager JW kept them at bay. Second half was reasonably even until a well placed pass from Mark Hughes found Rob Evison who slotted home to make it  2-0

So having got that good start and the 3 points we were still neck and neck with Oakley, so the title was on the last two matches; they had to play a scratch Chelmsford side and we had to play Cheshunt. Blues  started well and finally got the first goal when Rob E was found free on the right and smashed the ball in from 12 yards out.

Cheshunt did manage to get an equaliser and the second half was a much tighter game with chances at both ends but eventually a great pass from Mark Hughes found Rob who turned his defender ust outside the box to slot home what turned out to be the winning goal 2-1

So we managed to win both of our last games and remained unbeaten for the  season, only to then see Little Oakley beat the Chelmsford side 4-0.. That was enough for them to win the title on goal difference (+3). Speaking to them afterwards they would have much rather have played their last matches instead of being awarded those 3 points which even they thought was a little unfair considering what was at stake.

But after all that, as we said in the dressing room we had a terrific and successful season and if we had been offered the League and Cup Runners up at the start of the season we would have bitten their hand off .

Big thank you to all squad members who have contributed throughout this season and to John Watson for doing a grand job of managing and the huge boost that gives our Club to have achieved those two runners up places.
