Monday evening saw Hartley Res involved in yet another tough encounter, this time away against 4th place Beaconsfield SYCOB.

Beaconsfield started the brighter of the two sides, they effectively kept posession and pegged us back for the first 10 minutes or so but were largely limited to speculative long range efforts. But we started to get the upper hand and continued to battle and started to threaten their goal we were playing the better football out of the two sides now keeping hold of the ball, Ian Daniels marshalled the defence superbly as we continued to frustrate Beaconsfield, with the rest of the team sticking to their jobs and limiting Beaconsfield's attacking options.

We did manage to take the lead after about 16 minutes into the game some good work in the centre of midfield we managed to put a through ball to Jordan Eatons feet who pushed it passed one defender and over the out coming keeper great goal 1 - 0.

After that they started to come back at us their two front men who were as quick as lightning running at us when possible last ditch tackles were being made by our back four but on the 40th minute they managed to get one back 1 - 1 at half time.

The 2nd half was a much more even affair with us having more joy keeping posession and beginning to create chances but after about 20 minutes we started to run out of steam so I made some changes it upped the tempo of the game for a bit but Beaconsfield done the same and started to come back at us it was still an end to end game with all my players pushing for that second goal we were running out of time with only 4 minutes to play they hit us on the break playing the ball a cross the box more last ditch tackles were being made but the ball fell to one of their front men who managed to slot the ball through a crowd of players how it went in I do not no, Time up lost 2 - 1 Disappointed doesn't describe the outcome of this game, Altough the result was hard to take the performances of a number of my players was very pleasing my young side continue to impress me and are showing they can play in this high standard of adult football. Next Game Sat 28th Away V Tring Athlectic it would be nice to see some Hartley Wintney away support not just me and my coaching staff !
