COMETH THE HOUR, COMETH THE TEAM –
HATFIELD HEATH ARE
CHAMPIONS….AGAIN!

Rampant, all-conquering, undefeatable – those are just a
few words to describe Hatfield Heath CP School
Football Club. Heath Sport reporter BILLY SHAW tells
of how the club’s undefeated first team lifted the league
trophy this month….

Coming off the back of a delightful 2006/07 season, in
which Hatfield Heath ran away with the West Essex
Primary School League having lost only once, the side
have done it again this year – entirely undefeated.

The slightest of blips in an otherwise perfect league
programme occurred in the final game before the
Christmas break when their match at Rodings ended all
square at 2-2, but a string of four consecutive wins in
this season’s home straight has seen them seal the league
title for the second year in a row.

February 19th saw Joe Scanlon, Joe Milbourne and
Harry Andrews on target as the Heath picked up a useful
3-0 home win against St. Mary’s Stansted, before a
second half onslaught led to an 8-0 triumph away at
Bentfield.

Quality at the right price The home side were only one goal down when the teams
went in for half time, but an avalanche fell on Bentfield
