Harpenden Town 5 Sun Sports 0                           1951/52                                   Aubrey Cup

Sun used the wrong tactics

Sun played a close passing game; Harpenden hit the ball hard and often.
The latter policy paid the dividends.
That just about sums up the game at Rothamsted Park on Saturday, but there was another factor that played no small part in the Sun's defeat.
Green, at right half, pulled a muscle ten minutes after the start, and after sticking out the first half he retired to the dressing room.
Harpenden started off in great style.
The game was only seconds old when Ridges gave them the lead, and before half time arrived he had repeated the medicine twice.
Sun began the second half confidently, but with a weakened half back line they could not prevent Ridges scoring his fourth goal.
Sharpe added Harpenden's fifth, and although Sun tried to break their "duck", the consolation goal evaded them.
