Senior Eastern Counties – 29/03/09
What a day we had, three tough matches that we needed to win so we stay up at the top end of the table. If we retain enough points then its promotion to Div 1 next season !
First game against Norwich B:
Stuart was on fire in the first half banging in 4 quick goals many of them assists from Todd. End of first half it was 4-3 so Neil changed tactics for the second half which improved things. Neil scored 1, Andy scored 1, Graham scored 1 & Stuart got another 2 making the final result Letchworth 10, NorwichB 3.
Second game against Colchester:
This was a very tough & physical game with both teams attacking & counter attacking constantly. Colchester scored first then Stuart equalised making it 1-1 at half time. Neil reinforced tactics again then it was much the same untill Colchester were awarded a penalty, Michael came out early & saved it, then minutes later another penalty he saved that too & yet another ! saved again. He saved all three penaltys to keep us in the game. One minute before end of time Stuart bangs one in to win the game making it Letchworth 2, Colchester 1.
Third game against Farnham:
As there goal keeper was injured at previous days training session they had to field an un-registered player so they defaulted making it a ‘friendly’ match meaning we collected all points. Ivan Cook went in goal for them & for a 60 yr old he was very good. We still wanted to win the game which was far from friendly but at half time we were 2-0 down. The second half Andy scored 2 & Graham 1 but Farnham put another 3 past Michael finishing it Letchworth 3, Farnham 5 but we win on points anyway 
Great day & all Letchworth scorers were:
Stuart Langley 8
Andy Stewart 3
Graham Bussolini 3
Neil Warren 1
Todd Halfpenny 101 (assists
Michael Adams 3 (saved penalties
