Sun Sports 3 De Havillands (Stevenage) 2                  1959/60                             HCL Div One

Newcomers Fought Back

Newcomers to the Herts County League, De Havillands (Stevenage) gave quite a good account of themselves on their first visit to Parkside Drive.
They showed their fighting spirit when Benning and Wise put Sun two up within 13 minutes.
The Stevenage side hit back with tremendous enthusiasm and were level at the change round.
However in the second half Sun got into their stride again, although the winning goal was a long time coming because of off-target finishing.
Sixty seven minutes had gone when Eric Williams shot the vital goal from the edge of the penalty area.
There was nearly a fourth for Sun, for a fine 20 yard drive by Len Mellor beat the Stevenage goalkeeper - but not the referee's whistle, which sounded before the ball reached the net.
