Sun set for good season

Sun Sports played their first home match on Saturday and in overcoming the calls of annual vacations and a late cry-off, not to mention the early appearances of a trouncing went on to score four second half goals and record a bright win on a sun-kissed afternoon.
To label their achievement as a pointer to taking the Herts County League Premier Division title would be stretching matters but Sun certainly did enough to promise a good season.
After the usual feeling-out period, visitors London Colney took a grip on the game.
Sun had an escape after 26 minutes when Gray hit the post but were not so lucky in the 38th minute.
Then a cross came over, the defence was beaten all ends up and Robins headed for goal.
Colin Tattam, positioned behind the line, chested the ball down but the referee awarded the goal.
Nobody argued with his decision.
At this point it looked as if Sun were about to be the hosts to a hiding.
two minutes later, however, young Phil Killer, the last minute replacement for Bob Davies, took a pass from Barry Langdale, sliced his shot and saw the ball arc into the net.
After shots by Langdale and Killer had been charged down Terry Reynolds put Sun into the lead four minutes into the second half.
The mantle of uncertainty which had bedevilled Sun hitherto fell away.
Cohesion took it's place.
In the 52nd minute a shot from Brian Smith struck the post and Reynolds nipped in for his second until the 65th minute when he rounded off the Smart approach play of Eddie Rolfe and John Low.
Rolfe hit the woodwork and Killer wasted a couple of chances before Langdale made the score 5-1.
