Over 3,000 at Maidenhead, including 800 odd down from Boston. Good game, 3-0, but with Wealdstone being 2-0 up within 20 mins it was only ever going to end one way.
Berkhamsted 5 Flackwell Heath 0
Flackwell Heath’s first season in the Southern League ended today at Broadwater in front of a 1,963 crowd (about 300 from Flackwell) as the home side ran out 5-0 winners in the Division One Central playoff final.
In front of a record crowd at Broadwater the match was quite cagey for the first half-hour. The match began to open up & Flackwell missed a golden chance by hitting the post. Almost immediately Berkhamsted had a counter-attack & took the lead from J J Lacey.
After the break substitute Matt Bateman scored a second with a diving header. Flackwell then committed suicide when top scorer Wiktor Makowski was sent off for a lunging tackle. Berkhamsted were able to attack more & further goals from Lacey, Bateman & Connor Tomlinson sealed a comprehensive victory. Play was disrupted on several occasions as flares were thrown on to the pitch. But nothing could prevent a perfect result for the Comrades.
