Goal down, then Sun woke up

First impressions can be deceptive.

They did not do so, instead, Sun gained in confidence as the game progressed and finally completed the double over their fellow West Herts rivals.
Sun were caught napping in the first half, Rogan sending in a very hard shot which Croucher got his fingers to but could not hold.

In the 26th minute, Davis put the sides on terms.
In the second half, Sun got on top for long spells.
In the 63rd minute, Noble scored the winner with a hard high shot.
Sun went close on other occasions but could not increase their lead.
