A HUGE sigh of relief could be heard around Parkfield yesterday (Saturday) after Potters Bar Town's 1-0 victory over Herts rivals Ware.
It was the Scholars' first win in nine league games and they had to do things the hard way.
With the match goalless and heading towards half-time, Town keeper Ed Thompson was sent off for slapping Blues forward Joe Stevens.
He reacted after being caught late by Kaan Fehmi. The pair exchanged shoves before Stevens also got involved in the melee.
