Sun Postal Sports 2 Met. Police Bushey 0 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
Met Police Bushey lost vital ground when they went down 2-0 to Sun Postal while Chipperfield Corinthians fell further off the pace with a 2-1 defeat at leaders Elliott Star.
The Police gave a poor display and had no complaints at the result, leaving spokesman Jim Howard to reflect: "It looks like we are playing for the runners up spot now".
Sun felt they should have been ahead early on when Jim Harrison beat Police keeper Trevor Turnbull to a long ball and headed it past him and into the net.
The pair subsequently collided and the referee awarded the Police a free kick.
"It was a woeful decision, even their players were laughing," said Sun's Tom Barber.
However, Sun went ahead after 24 minutes when Andy Wood unleashed a 25 yard screamer which gave Turnbull no chance.
Harrison hit the post before the interval but, a minute after the break, Phil Walker scored the second with a typical close-range finish.
The Police finished the stronger but the game was beyond them by then.
"I thought we played better when they beat us 3-0 earlier in the season," said Barber

Oxhey Jets 0 Sun Postal Sports 3 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
Oxhey Jets are slipping into the mire and were not helped by a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sun Postal.
Sun do not have a good record at Chilwell Gardens but had the game won by half time, taking a 3-0 lead.
Darren Hardwick headed them in front from a corner and Alan Langdale scored a fine second, taking his time after controlling a through-ball.
James Keen volleyed the third from a half cleared corner but Jets prevented a severe beating with an improved second half display.
"We could have had a couple more but they didn't fold in the second half," said Sun's Terry Hows.
Jets' manager is likely to wield the axe after this latest setback.
"It was our worst performance for a long time. Certain players looked heartless and Sun destroyed us in the first half," said Jets' John Elliott.

Bovingdon 0 Sun Postal Sports 2 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
A 2-0 win over Bovingdon did little to hide the fact that Sun Postals are struggling for goals.
A return of 26 from 21 games makes them among the division's lowest scorers and they failed to improve their tally much on Saturday.
"For the amount of possession we had, we should have created a lot more. There is nothing happening for us in the final third," admitted Sun's Terry Hows.
The first half was reasonably tight with Bovingdon wasting their best moment when a fine cross from Paul Gregory went unconverted.
The breakthrough came after 65 minutes when Paddy Gallagher stopped a goalbound shot but then turned to toe-poke the ball home.
Ten minutes later a miss kick in the Bovingdon area left Phil Walker with time and space to score the second.

It was an afternoon to forget for Sun Postal as they were held 1-1 by Bragbury Athletic.
Doug Taylor gave Sun the lead midway through the first half when he was left unmarked at a corner.
Bragbury levelled just after the break and Sun only really pushed their claims for a win towards the end, after the introduction of substitute Phil Walker.
"We were very poor, we didn't come alive for the first hour," said Sun's Terry Hows.

Sun Postal Sports 2 Elliott Star 2 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
Sun Postal grabbed two late goals to force a draw against one of the championship contenders Elliott Star.
Elliott were 2-0 up thanks to goals in the first and second periods.
The first deceived stand in keeper Trevor Davis as it bounced awkwardly.
Davis is in the side while Simon Bartley recovers from injury.
Phil Walker gave Sun hope when he poked home in the 81st minute after latching on to an Alan Langdale flick-on.
Then Langdale was bundled over in the box and Andy Wood belted home the penalty with seconds remaining.
Sun's Tom Barber said, "We didn't play well, Elliott are the best side we have faced this season, but we are pleased we managed to battle back so well."
On Saturday Sun face another acid test when they meet another of the leading sides, Colney Heath.

St Peters 0 Sun Postal Sports 2 Aubrey Cup 2nd Rd 1995/96
Phil Walker and Doug Taylor's blossoming partnership in attack provided the impetus behind Sun Postal Sports' comfortable progression into the third round.
Walker struck first in the 12th minute, his predatory instincts helping him to his sixth goal in the last seven matches.
Then goal-scorer turned goal-provider on the stroke of half time.
Walker split St Peters' defence with an intelligent through-ball, and Taylor's finish was immaculate.
St Peters rarely threatened to impose any sustained pressure on Sun, whose domination of the match was not fairly reflected in the 2-0 scoreline.
It was a stylish and assured victory by Sun, with Walker and Taylor in majestic form.

Renny Grant struck soon after the interval and then added a second on the hour mark.
Martin Howard buried Sun with the third in the 75th minute.
For Sun, Darren Hardwick and Phil Walker were thwarted by the woodwork.

"When they scored we didn't have any answers. Really we should have been in charge of things long before they got into the game."

Sun Postal Sports 2 Tring Athletic 0 Herts Centenary Trophy 1st Rd 1995/96
In the Herts Senior Centenary Trophy, Sun Postal Sports upset South Midlands league side Tring Athletic.
It was a fine result for Sun to knock out a side used to playing against sterner opposition week-in, week-out.
Sun's Tom Barber said: "The players lifted themselves for the game and played very well."
"Whether it was because we raised our game or perhaps they had an off-day but there certainly didn't seem to be much of a gap between the two sides."
"We deserved to win because everyone gelled together to form a team unit that was very difficult to break down."
Sun had to wait until eight minutes into the second half before they broke the deadlock.
Alan Langdale finished off a superb six-man move that flowed from one end of the pitch to the other.
Then Phil Walker sealed a safe passage into the second round, scoring his fourth goal in four games.
John Pettifer sent in a stinging shot from almost 30 yards that the Tring keeper failed to hold.
Who should be there but Walker to punish the hapless keeper for his mistake.

Bragbury Athletic 0 Sun Postal Sports 3 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
Sun Postal turned on the style to whack Bragbury Athletic 3-0 on their own turf.
Andy Wood broke the deadlock after 19 minutes when he converted a penalty.
He was hauled down in the box and picked himself up to confidently despatch the spot kick.
Sun controlled the game from then on but had to wait until the 71st minute before their possession was translated into a second goal.
Danny Wadmore connected with a corner and then Phil Walker added a third in the 74th minute.
Walker, still not 100 per cent fit according to Sun management, is consistently popping up with the goals.
Tom Barber said; "We were wonderful to watch on Saturday. I think it was the best performance of the season so far."

Cuffley 1 Sun Postal Sports 2 Aubrey Cup 1st Rd 1995/96
Holders Sun Postal Sports should have had their tie at Cuffley in the bag long before Phil Walker scored the extra time winner.
Sun were on top for the majority of the game but were unable to make all their possession count.
Tom Barber said; "We were in brilliant form on Saturday. I haven't seen them play so well for a long time. It was incredible that we didn't have the game won before half time."
"What was even more amazing was that we went behind just three minutes into extra time. If they had won it, it would have been a totally false result."
Fortunately Sun fought back and Mark Gregory connected with Andy Wood's left wing cross to head the equaliser.
From then on there was only going to be one winner and substitute Phil Walker popped up to score a fine goal.
"Walker has been injured lately and he is not match fit at the moment. He would not have lasted a full game but when he came on he was the most lively player on the pitch," said Barber.

Paul Jones was commanding in a defence which gave Wormley barely a sniff.
At the other end, second half chances came and went before Sun won the game in the 72nd minute.
Having gained possession in midfield, Sun broke quickly and Doug Taylor played a one-two with Mark Gregory before firing into the bottom left corner.

Sandridge Rovers 0 Sun Postal Sports 1 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
Goal shy Sun Postal will be hoping the 1-0 win at champions Sandridge Rovers signals a change in their recent poor fortune.
And they will be hoping to build on Saturday's 1-0 win over the defending champions by posting a comfortable win over bottom side Wormley tomorrow.
With just eight goals from their opening ten games, finding the net has been the main problem.
Sun's Terry Hows admits: "We just seem to be lacking in confidence when we get into the box."
"Against Sandridge we were under pressure as long as it stayed 0-0 but when the break-through came you could see the side relax and start to play some good football."
"Wormley are bottom and we will be looking at that game as one we want to score a few goals in, but with us in our position, they could be looking at us and thinking the same."
Darren Hardwick scored the all important winner on 55 minutes with a fine individual goal.
He picked the ball up 35 yards from goal, carried it to the edge of the box and struck a sweet left foot shot into the corner of the Rovers net.

Sun Postal Sports 3 Oxhey Jets 1 Herts County League Prem 1995/96
With a large number of players returning form suspension this weekend, Sun Postal face selection problems of the nicest kind following their 3-1 win over Oxhey Jets.
Sun could even afford to miss a penalty when Michael Woolner had his kick saved superbly by Martin Cottrell.
They made the breakthrough on the stroke of half time, Mark Gregory firing in from the edge of the box after a corner had been cleared.
It took until the 83rd minute for the second goal to arrive, full back Darren Rowe pouncing on a rebound.
A minute from the end Sun killed the game, John White starting and finishing a superb five man move.
Paul Dupree scored a late consolation for Oxhey.
"We didn't really play any differently to recent weeks, we just didn't make any stupid mistakes," said Sun's Tom Barber.

On Saturday Sun went down 1-0 to Kings Langley in a game that resembled the dour meeting between the two in the Aubrey Cup Final last season.
Sun had most of the play but chances were few and the game was decided when a bad bounce and some hesitant defending left Nick Read in the clear in the 65th minute.
"They had most of the play but I can't remember a chance for either team besides the goal," said Langley boss Kevin Andrews.

High flying Colney Heath made the most of Sun Postal's generosity to claim a 2-1 victory.
A Michael Woolner penalty almost earned Sun a point but, in a game of very few chances, Sun's lax moments at the back were very costly.
"We defended like schoolchildren and gave them two goals on a plate," said Sun's Tom Barber.

Chipperfield went ahead after 60 minutes when Spencer Wicks forced the ball in after a corner.
However, Sun became the first team to score against Chipperfield this season when Phil Walker netted from the penalty spot in the 70th minute after Darren Hardwick had been brought down by Mark Deuce.

However, Ambury restored their three goal advantage late on.
"At half time I thought we had been slightly the better team but we played village green stuff in the second half," admitted Sun's Terry Hows.

Sun Postal Sports 0 Oxhey Jets 2 Herts County League Prem 2000/01
Three sent off in Jets' derby win over Sun
Oxhey Jets triumphed 2-0 over local rival Oxhey Jets on Saturday in an ill-tempered affair which saw three players take an early shower.
Two of the players were sent off in what Oxhey Jets manager John Elliott described as "five minutes of madness".
Jets' Paul Harris was the first to see red for violent conduct before Gary Page became involved in a scuffle with a Sun Postal Sports player.
Both players were yellow carded but Sun Sports' Gary Beadle, who later became involved, was sent off, making it ten-a-side.
The final sending off was from Sun's Wade Walker, who was shown his second yellow card for dissent.
Gary Munnelly scored Jets' first, passing the ball into an open net after 15 minutes before Gary Page wrapped up the match with a good effort with 12 minutes remaining.
It was a fairly even match that could have gone either way.
Jets had to ride their luck at times as keeper David Green made some crucial saves with his feet.

Sun Postal Sports Reserves 1 Codicote Reserves 5 Reserve Cup Final 1999/2000
Shock defeat for Sun
Underdogs Codicote Reserves strode to an extra time win over Sun Postal Sports Reserves in the Reserves Cup Final on Saturday at Whitewebbs.
Despite being a division lower, Codicote enjoyed a mixture of good luck and excellent football to produce the shock win.
Sun dominated the first half and took the lead before the break and, with many of the Codicote players aged 30 and over, it seemed as if Sun would run away with the clash in the second half.
Instead, Codicote levelled after 55 minutes and an even battle followed with both keepers performing well.
In extra time, Codicote took an early lead with a very good goal when the forward broke away and rounded the keeper.
Two minutes later, Sun were punished by a freak goal.
Codicote attacked and Sun cleared the ball to the half way line, Codicote then hoofed the ball forward, it bounced ten yards from goal and over the keeper's head, despite his desperate back pedalling.
Sun Sports were demoralised by this and two more Codicote goals followed in the second period of extra time - an own goal and a fifth on the stroke of full time.

Jubilant Bedmond Sports & Social ended a two decade wait when they lifted the Aubrey Cup on Monday.
Bedmond last won the cup in 1980/81, but have been unable to repeat the feat until this year when they defeated Premier Division rival in a tight game at Baldock Town.
It could be the first of a double for Bedmond - they contest the final of the Cherry Red Books Capital Counties Feeder League's Trophy on Saturday, May 13.
"The Aubrey Cup has become like the Holy grail for the club, so I am well pleased," said boss Chris Godman. "We have been trying to win it for 20 years."
"We lost in the final to Leavesden in 1984 and I have lost in eight semi finals since then. With all the club's success in the 80's, the Aubrey Cup eluded us."
"We were the better side for 70 minutes, but we were put under some pressure in the last 20 minutes. Everyone did well, particularly the keeper, defence and midfield, with Mark Campion playing very well."
Chances were few in a first half played largely in midfield and slightly edged by Bedmond in terms of possession.
Bedmond created a few half chances, notable when John Dugdale and Nick Jones combined on the right, setting up Richard Johnson whose shot was blocked.
Then Marc Fryer's free kick was headed wide of the post by Mark Campion and, just before the break, Matt Bowen fired a shot over the crossbar.
Sun came out in the second half, looking fired up from a half time rollicking and, almost immediately, carl Bull crossed for Michael Woolner, but his shot was straight at Bedmond's impressive keeper Andy Hopping.
After 51 minutes, Bedmond came close when Bowen fired an excellent cross into the box which flashed by the far post, needing only a touch from the lingering Fryer and Jones.
But, two minutes later, they were ahead through a set piece.
Matt Bowen fired a beautifully struck free kick into the top corner to finally break the deadlock.
For 15 more minutes, Bedmond threatened to extend their advantage.
Substitute Leigh Edmunds hit a shot on the turn, then Bowen fired a long ball into the danger area with Glynn Spurr's attempted overhead kick going wide.
Bowen had another shot blocked, hitting the rebound over the crossbar.
Then, on 73 minutes, Sun thought they had levelled when ben Cowen headed home following a goalmouth scramble.
But celebrations soon turned sour when an assistant referee flagged for a handball.
However, the setback seemed to spur the trailing team on and they subjected Bedmond to attack after attack in the final minutes.
Kingshot stepped up his game and was a constant threat to the Bedmond keeper.
After 80 minutes, Kingshot fired an acute angled shot from the right to produce a tremendous save by Hopping, who turned the ball around the post for a corner.
Then Tony Masters, who worked hard and showed good skills, flicked the ball on for Cowen whose lofted shot was caught by Hopping.
Perhaps Sun came closest to an equaliser when yet another shot by Kingshot was well parried, with the rebound falling for Michael Woolner whose spectacular overhead was blocked.
During six minutes of injury time, Kingshot's cross was touched wide of the post by Michael Woolner and Kingshot again shot wide of the goal.
"We didn't perform for a large part of the game and we are capable of more," said Sun's Terry Hows.
"The midfield and forwards were disappointing. Daryl Kingshot was probably our best player, but Bedmond worked hard for the win."
Sun Postal Sports: Bartley, Tyers, Brown, Kingshot, McLaren, Masters, Wood, Catlin, Bull, M Woolner, Cowen.
Subs: Walker, Gladdy, Gallagher, S Woolner, Hewitt.

Agrevo Sports 0 Sun Postal Sports 2 Aubrey Cup semi-final 1999/2000
Sun Postal Sports had a slightly easier passage, defeating Agrevo Sports 2-0.
But Sun had to wait until the last ten minutes for their anxieties to be eased when they scored their second.
Sun's Terry Hows said: "We were the better side but our quality in front of goal was lacking. We missed a couple of good chances to put the game beyond them. They worked hard but we deserved the win."
Sun had to cope without three key players who were suspended but were put at ease after 15 minutes when Ben Cowen's superbly volleyed home form 20 yards.
Agrevo thought they had pulled level when they converted a direct free kick but Sun were relieved to see the referee disallow the goal because he had not blown for the kick to be taken.
On 75 minutes, defender Alex Brown rose at a corner to ensure Sun victory.
Hows added, "We have to show Bedmond a lot of respect in the final because they have only been beaten a few times this season. but we will have our suspended players back for it and hopefully we will be at full strength.

Oxhey Jets 0 Sun Postal Sports 4 Herts County League Prem 1999/2000
Oxhey Jets' John Elliott said a "shake up" was on the cards after a dismal 4-0 loss to Sun Postal Sports.
"Some players don't seem to care whether we win or lose," said Elliott.
"The team seems to give up when they are losing. I was not impressed with the attitude in the last 20 minutes."
After a good first half showing, Jets were disappointed to go into the break 1-0 down, with Sun working hard to provide the base for their win.
Sun netted from the spot in the second half and, from that point on, it was all one way traffic, with Jets' keeper David Jacks not having a good day as Ben Cowen (two), Micky Woolner and Wade Walker all found a way past him.
