Sun Sports 1 Welwyn Garden City Reserves 6               1953/54                       HCL Div One

Hard on the Sun - City were flattered

Sun Sports were unlucky on Saturday, in that the Welwyn first team were without a London League fixture, and consequently were able to field a stronger side than would normally be the case.
Even so, there were little between the side territorially and the score really flatters the victors.
Where Welwyn did have the edge was in front of goal, where their big centre forward found keeping the ball low second nature, and the target was not difficult to hit.
Sun had a very good opening ten minutes and a goal then would have been thoroughly deserved: But, they did not score.
Instead, Welwyn went ahead in the twelve minute and increased their lead to three before half time.
Welwyn took their tally to five before Beach laid on the ball for A Attree to net Sun's consolation goal.
Welwyn completed their scoring with a good shot three minutes from time.
