Sitting top of the league prior to the start of the game & Broxbourne in second, Brentwood knew it would be a tough game.

With usual skipper Simon Teale suspended for a red card offence a couple of weeks ago, vice captain James Duggan had the task of getting the boys in the zone & delivering the pre match team talk.

Both teams started well & chances came at both ends but Broxbourne were the first to break the deadlock after some slick passing & slotting home past keeper. Brentwood kept their heads up knowing they will always score goals & drew one back shortly after going behind when the Broxbourne keeper saved with his helmet from a Paul Haynes volley in front of goal & James Duggan was there to slot home the rebound.

Good defensive work & some great saves from man of the match Ian Malone kept the game even until Broxbourne managed to scramble home a second with 10 minutes of the half remaining. That gave Brentwood the spark they needed to then dominate the following 10 minutes with some good passing, hard work off the ball & some well earn’t short corners that nearly paid off. Just before half time Brentwood did pull even with another goal from Duggan.

No goals in the second half but yellow cards for Stuart Piper & Cashel Gleeson for chat & one for Nic Hull put the boys up against it but they held on for what on reflection is a good point away from home & they deserved to keep their unbeaten position in the league.

Final score 2-2.
