Sun Sports Reserves 1 Odhams 0                      1967/68                      Herts Junior Cup

Extra time winner

Six minutes into extra time Bob Foster dribbled past two defenders and scored the goal that put Sun Reserves into the last 16 on Saturday.
Foster's goal halted Odhams' gallant cup run in  a game commanded by two sturdy defences.
Chances were rather scarce in ordinary time and they were wasted by over anxious forwards.
Sun dictated play for the opening 20 minutes but they could not master Odhams' defence in which Croxford - deputising for the injured Colling - gave a great display.
Odhams came back into the reckoning and play was evenly divided until extra time, with the light fading, Foster drove the ball past Odham's goalkeeper Hansrad.
The "Printers" tried desperately to save the game but their breakaways, led by John Thomason - who travelled all the way from Manchester just for the match - were contained.
