League: Evergreen Juniors 2-2 Herons
Archie was very much looking forward to todays game. Not only are Evergreen his old team but they are also Herons' closest rivals in the league. They've also only dropped two points in the last six games, drawing 2-2 with unbeaten Hemel Aces Diamonds. It was important that we didn't roll over today!. Nothing like a local derby.
I'm glad to say that Archie and the boys definately turned up today, all seemingly getting out of the right side of their football beds. I honestly think that Evergreen thought they were in for a walk in the park today, the win a formality. It was a closely fought contest though... too close for Evergreen.
Both teams started well from kick off but it was Herons who were winning headers in the middle of the field and getting to the ball first too. Every single one our boys were making tough challenges and giving their all. Archie was unlucky not to have opened the scoring with a volley from outside the area, but it went straight to the keeper. Our goalkeeper James made some crucial saves and some brilliantly flukey saves too. The opening goal did come before half time and first blood was drawn by Herons. A lovely through ball from Franky for James S to run onto and calmly finish. 0-1. Half time came and the boys were told that they had played a blinder and to carry on.
From the restart, Evergreen looked hungry to get back into the game but to my suprise we got a second goal. Archie played a wonderful pass to Franky for him to hammer it home. 0-2. Archie went close on a couple more occasions but couldn't find the net. Evergreen were getting annoyed and decided to fight back. That was when the tables turned. Harry Chalis, Evergreens #7 hit the bar and Harrison in defence cleared one of the line. Although they got two goals back, our boys didn't give up in trying to get a winner. Again, Archie came close but couldn't find the back of the net. The game ended at 2-2.
A great game today and a well earned point... more so for Herons.

League: Hemel Town Youth 1-4 Herons
After a nightmare journey to Hemel involving a flat tyre, we finally managed to get the game just before half time with Herons losing 1-0. Talking to the parents, it would seem that we were unlucky to be losing.
At the restart, Archie was bought on and put upfront alongside James. Within the first 2 mins of the half Archie was unlucky not to get an equalizer when he smashed the ball against the post and the keeper was able to collect comfortably. Not long after the equalizer came. Liam lofted in a brilliant corner and defender Samson was there to execute a fantastic header. 1-1. Shortly after we took the lead. Archie made a one-on-one with the keeper count, blasting the ball past the keeper. 1-2. The onslaught was relentless and Archie created the 3rd goal. He beat a defender on the turn and headed for goal, he took a shoot across the keeper who was unable to keep hold of it and Connor was there to tap it in. We finally put the forth in. Another easy goal for Connor, he took a shot and it bounce horribly over the keeper. 1-4. Game over.
Archie dedicated his goal to his brand new baby sister, Rae Anna Pearl, who was born (finally) on Weds 9th Feb.

Junior League cup, Group 1 - Match 3: Herons 0-3 Hemel Aces Diamonds
Today we played host to Hemel Aces Diamonds in the last game of the group stages of the junior league cup. Both teams had already qualified with 2 wins and this game was to see who would finish top of the table. The opposition have so far conceded only 9 goals this season and have scored 61!
Archie started the game up front. He usually has a good game against Aces but today was a different story. He didn't seem interested and was watching the game mostly. Aces scored 3 goals. Two of the goals were balls that bounced over the goal keeper and the other was scored after our goalkeeper was unable to keep hold of the ball, it was tapped in.
Next week we play Hemel Town Youth in the league.
