Sun lose to late penalty

A last minute penalty gave Welwyn a narrow victory over Sun Sports at Welwyn on Saturday in a Herts County League Premier Division match.
Sun cannot really complain about the result as Welwyn hit the bar and the post in the second half and were generally the better side in a scrappy game.
Sun scored first when John Matthews headed in Brian Smith's cross after 20 minutes.
This spurred on Welwyn and John Low rescued Sun by heading off the line.
Just as Sun were beginning to take control, only to be let down by poor finishing, their defence got in a tangle and allowed Ward to equalise for Welwyn in the 44th minute.
The second half was a drab affair with Welwyn doing most of the attacking.
Sun's defence, with Colin Tattam outstanding, held out until the 89th minute when the Welwyn captain scored from the penalty spot after Bob Davies had been accused of holding.
