Could've done without the poem but was interested in the Tigers history. I didn't know they used to be Kingsbury, brought back memories of a game I covered at Kingfield in I think 1989/90, it was bit like the Battle of Santiago except only one side was committing atrocities in the name of football, so outclassed were they by the dazzling talents of Buzaglo, Biggins, Cowler et al. If memory serves they finished the game with 8 men, and their gaffer saw red too. They were an absolute disgrace!

5 wins out of 6 now for the Prem's entertainers after taking the spoils in the Batchworth derby.

Once again it was a game of two halves, and the Hares will be left to rue their profligacy before the break when really they should have been out of sight but found themselves going in level after Sean Giordmaina took Jets only chance of the half. Richard Pacquette wasted at least 2 free headers but he was in good company for the reds, it was like shooting practice for much of the half but with only the one goal from Femi Ogunsula to show for it

Roles were reversed in the second half, and match winner Jake Tabor grabbed an impressive brace before Harefield grabbed a late consolation. 

Once again Vass Mandeville ran his socks off and was motm without doubt.

A groundhopper from another Forum was in attendance, I wonder who the Referee was who considered a postponement due to a sIightIy buckled post:

Bedford 4-1 Letchworth Garden City Eagles
Spartan South Midlands 1st Division
Parking awkward at the ground unless arriving later due to sharing the car park with a gym. Tickets need to be bought at the bar outside the ground. Cash or card. I don't think they take Bitcoin, but they do now have an official Bitcoin partner. Two bits of cover on the near side, with hardstanding round the rest.
This came close to late postponement number 3 of 2022 for me. The problem was one post being a little buckled. The ref did eventually agree to go ahead and did a good job of the game. Two early goals for Bedford and they dominated the rest of the first half without many clear cut chances. Second half more even and open. Letchworth pulled one back early on, before two more for Bedford.
