Match Report - 07 Nov 2009, Royston Hockey Club Mens 5th XI lost to West Herts 6th XI
Royston's youth side sucumbed to a fairly narrow league defeat once again against a well organised West Herts team. A single defensive error in the first half and a superbly taken goal in the second half ended up being the difference between the sides. Royston started very slowly in the first half, but excellent tackling and marking from both man of the match Bailey Farmer and Josh Hughes meant that the home team's chances were limited. Superb defence from Jackson and Stewart in the second half, coupled with good attacking play from Hughes linking with Whitaker continued Royston's 'never say die' attitude - even though 2-0 down, Royston's best chance cam in the last two minutes of the game when John Collins pounced on a chance in the opposition "D" and shot just wide.
