League: Herons 7-0 Comets Cougars
Archie started todays game as a sub, but came on as a left winger, 10mins into the first half. He scored 5mins later after the ball was passed into the box and he beat the keeper to the ball, flicking it to the left into an empty net. 1-0. Archie then scored another not long after to make it 2-0. The goals came thick and fast after that and the game finished 7-0 and showed another brilliant performance from the team.

League: Rickmansworth Rebels 0-2 Herons
Today we played Ricky rebels for the third time this season and won again. Archie was back to play but was started on the bench.
The game wasn't as comfortable as some have been soo far but the boys are doing what is important... grinding out wins. In all Archie played about 20 minutes in which time he managed to make 2 defensive clearances with his head, put 2 very good crosses in and came close to scoring twice. Our first goal came during the first half with John smashing a volley over the keepers head and the second came from James S, he was in the right place at the right time to mop up a rebounded shot.
Next weeks game is against Harpenden Colts Cobras, a game that Archie will not be available for which is a shame as he's really missing not playing week-in week-out.
Goals: John (1), James S (1)

League: Bovingdon Panthers Red 3-3 Herons
Today we faced a rampant Bovingdon team that has been scoring for fun, beating teams convincingly and not leaking goals. The boys were up for this one with captain Liam pumping them up just before kick off. Archie started the game upfront alongside James S.
I can safely say that this was the best match that I've watched in a long time. Archie was unlucky not to have opened the scoring when his shot was parried by the goalkeeper... into Ricc's path who was on hand to tap the ball home. 0-1. Herons played some fantastic football and were confident enough to play the ball back in order to go forward. The second goal came when the ball was played across the front of goal and found its way to James S. Needless to say he burried it to make it 0-2. The game was by no means one way traffic. Herons' back four were tremendous and saw off a number of attacks. Bovingdon managed to pull a goal back just before half time, going in 1-2.
The second half was alot like the first except a little more in favour of the home team. They managed to get the equaliser and then take the lead. 3-2. Our heads didn't go down and we kept pressing. This really is a different team to last season, at this point the boys would have conceded defeat and let in more goals. Not this season though. Corner after corner, finally the equaliser came. Liam crossed in well and Samson was there, infront of the keeper to head the ball in. 3-3. I jumped up and celebrated, it was a goal that we deserved. The final whistle went before we could grab another.
Goals: Ricc (1), James S (1), Samson (1).

League: Herons 4-0 Leverstock Green Willows
Today Herons took on Leverstock Green Willows who were mid table at the start of the day. This was to be Archie's second of the season and his team mates have been running riot in his absence. He started the game upfront alongside James S.
The boys started very well and they just about had the run of the first half. Archie was working hard at putting the pressure on and had a few efforts on goal. Ricc was unlucky not to have opened the scoring after a sweet left footed volley was saved well by the Leverstock goal keeper. After a couple more opportunities JJ was on hand to tuck the ball away from close range after James S played in a low cross. 1-0.
After half time it was obvious that the opposition were tiring and our boys had plenty more stamina and took advantage. John scored the second, taking advantage of a loose ball and volleyed it in. 2-0. Liam was causing havoc with his corners putting them right in the mix. Sure enough we took advantage of the deliveries and Archie headed the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0. By this time Leverstock were playing to keep the score down but Thomas made it four with a lovely toe poke. 4-0. Archie had a spell on the side lines then returned to play centre mid alongside Ricc and they played very well together impressing the coaches. Both boys can pick a pass out and are confident on the ball, this might be a position that Archie will find himself in a few more times this season.
Altogether a good game with some cracking football being played. Archie gelled well with the team and looked as though he's been playing with them all season.
GOALS: JJ (1), John (1), Archie (1) & Thomas (1)
Next week's opponents are Bovingdon Panthers Red who are currently unbeaten, scoring 38 and conceeding only 3 in the three games that they've played. It will be a difficult one for sure.
