A rocket of a strike from Stephen Buckler helped Wheathampstead Wanderers claim all three points in the Herts Ad Sunday League after a seven-goal thriller.

Division One

Wheathampstead Wanderers defeated The Bull in a superb game for the neutral at Napsbury.

Despite a good start for the home side, it was the visiting Wanderers who took the lead, Kwame Ofori’s pass wasn’t dealt with and Jordan Cornes made The Bull pay.

The lead was short-lived though, Jack Faulder’s cross met by the head of Elliot Archer, and then parity disappeared quickly too as the hosts took the lead, Faulder with a corner this time finding Jamie Sharp.

Wanderers went back in front courtesy of a Harvey Armstrong double but there was still one more goal to come before half-time, Nathan Lock making it 3-3.

Defences were much tighter after the break but with 15 minutes to go Ofori found Buckler well outside the box, and he smacked it into the top corner to make it 4-3 to Wheathampstead.

Welwyn Garden United maintained their perfect record with a 2-1 win at Harpenden Colts OB, Josh Jordan at the double for WGU and Josh Smith on target for the Colts, and Carl Pickstock and Carl Fadhel were on the scoresheet for Mermaid in a 3-1 win at Saints.

Jordan Cocomazzi got the hosts' consolation.

FYP played out their second 2-2 draw in as many games, this time at Little Heath, Robert Pinto and Niall Gurhey scoring for the latter.
