Wedding Stationery With the side well on their way to claiming the league
crown for the third consecutive year, Hatfield Heath CP
School FC laid waste to the challenge of three more teams
this month. And with their goal difference rocketing deep
into double figures, the opposition are struggling to stop
them.

First to be put to the sword were division newcomers
Great Easton. A five-goal salvo from James Baughurst
was the highlight of a mouth-watering 11-1 home victory
on February 24. Other goals came from Harry Feest (2),
Ewan Rockell (3) and Cameron Lock.

SAM ‘HOPS’ TO IT AFTER MAKING STEP UP

Hatfield Heath School’s ‘B’ Team also took to the field in
a hectic month of football. Howe Green played host to the
second string side, but the big story coming out of the
match was the effort of Sam Hopkins.

After impressing coaching staff at the school football club
with a sparkling display for the ‘B’ Team on March 9, the
striker was rewarded with a debut for the ‘A’ Team three
days later in the aforementioned home game against
Rodings.

In a decent first half, the ‘B’ Team fell a goal behind to
their hosts before three further goals after the interval
completed the win for Howe Green.
