GreenArmy MoM – Liam Brooks

A walk down to the ground for us tonight, on account of BigAl informing everyone the road to Langford road was closed (turns out it wasn’t.. 🤭) oh and his cheeky lunch at Spoons earlier….🙄

Unusually we had to dig out the season tickets as there was a new face on the turnstiles, I’m sure they’ll get to know us pretty quickly ⚽️

It was the usual crew, less Bunnyman (still on his trip around the southwest perusing the local working men’s clubs…🤣

It was great the see JT, he’s had a terrible few months, so good to see him up and about…💚

After Saturdays great performance we were all buzzing for tonight’s match and hoping for a home win… this started to look in doubt when we changed ends and were kicking towards the BelEnd in the 1st half…never a good omen for us!😱

Waders made a good start and for the 1st 20 minutes, had the better of it; with Lacey, Brooks and Clemo all having chances. Hertford came into the game more, prompting a brilliant double save by Jack Berman 👏 he’s proving to be a top signing for us.

All the early efforts were to be undone when Hertford took the lead on 36 minutes 😳

Waders weren’t lagging behind for long though, with Liam McDevitt heading home in the box 😃😃⚽️

Goal!!!

Unfortunately just 4 minutes later, right on half time we were behind again, with a deflected shot from the opposition 🙄

Out for the 2nd half, and another returning Wader, great to see Dave C back 💚⚽️

If we were going to get something out if this game, we needed to make a good start in this half…. Sadly Hertford made it 1 – 3 after 55 minutes 🤔

The rest of the game saw us desperately trying to claw it back, but even Clemo’s goal in the 78th minute wasn’t enough to save us 😪

A long walk back home; Wisbeach on Saturday in the FA Cup…. the coach will be lively I suspect, with this top group of lads 😂🎉
