If we are honest, barring 10 minutes of the game Stotfold were the better team playing a nice passing game. It was our defence that did so much today with numerous saves by Bradley and many clearances by John and Louis. When we did play our normal game during the last 10 minutes of the second half, we scored twice and came close to a third before Stotfold scored the winner in added time. Stotfold deseved winners.
