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.
