Saturday Roundup

Bostik League Premier

POTTERS BAR TOWN 0 Dorking Wanderers 0

Another disappointing afternoon at The Pakex as the Scholars were beaten by two second half goals. Chances were few and far between in an even opening period Sean Bonnet-Johnson’s shot fielded by Wanderers keeper Slavomir Huk was the closest Potters Bar came to breaking the deadlock. The visitors took the lead after 54mins when Lewis Taylor’s 25 yard free kick went in off a post. With the Scholars pushing forward for an equaliser number two arrived nine minutes later Reece Hall’s quick break finding James McShane at the far post who calmly finished his fourth goal of the season. Potters Bar’s best chance came in injury time when substitute Josh Hutchinson failed to find the target from five yards out.

Sean Cronin was the hero as the Blues twice fought back from a goal behind to grab a point.

HRB Sport Triple Header as FA Cup Fever Rises

Sports enthusiasts finding themselves confined to a hospital bed this weekend can anticipate a unique triple header on HRB Sport. Coverage of critical league action at both ends of the table on our flagship Saturday Sports show including commentary from the Pakex Stadium, a full round up on Sunday’s review show, and then Monday Night Football Live from the Hive as Barnet go in search of more FA Cup glory. A cocktail to resolve the most complicated medical predicament.
Barnet confirmed this week what most fans were hoping and expecting after an encouraging run of results, the permanent appointment of Darren Currie as Head Coach. On the day that the club announced former boss John Still was leaving by mutual consent, Currie was given full charge of first team affairs on a rolling contract. His first task will be to emulate the giant killing act at Sheffield United that brought him such kudos, when the team faces Brentford in the FA Cup Fourth Round on Monday night.
Currie responded to his appointment with a positive statement: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my first three weeks in charge and I’m relishing the chance to take this great club forward. It’s an exciting new chapter for me and I hope to keep the smiles on the faces of our brilliant supporters.”
In an ongoing local theme of goalkeeper loans, Barnet have secured the services of Leeds stopper Will Huffer. The 20 year old who made his debut for the Championship leaders this season has represented England at Under 17 and Under 18 level. He arrives on a month long loan deal.
Current Herts Senior Cup holders Boreham Wood have drawn National League South Hemel Hempstead in the quarter finals of this season’s competition. The home tie will be played on Tuesday February 5th.
Potters Bar’s first round Herts Charity Cup tie against Hemel Hempstead, postponed this week due to snow has been rearranged for Tuesday January 29th.
Wingate & Finchley are encouraging more students into science, technology, engineering and maths careers through the appointment of an Al football coach. The partnership with Big Band Fair will see the facility introduced at the home match against Whitehawk.
Hendon have released first team squad members Shaun Lucien and Adam Pepara while Tyriq Hunte has joined Hanwell Town on dual registration.
Hadley remain 3 points clear of the chasing pack after Biggleswade FC’s match at Leverstock Green was a victim of the weather. The other Biggleswade club, United saw their title ambitions dented by a 3-3 draw with Colney Heath.
