WealdstoneOn another day Stones would have been happy with an away point and a clean sheet, but this was a game that Stones should have wrapped up in the first fifteen minutes.
Butler, Ryan and Jolly all had early chances, the best, a Butler header that cannoned off the cross bar, but Stones couldn’t force the ball home.
From then on, although Stones had the greater possession, the game was quite even, Alexander feeding Jolly and Williams also seeing an effort just wide, while at the other end Carter did well to save from Frempong in a one on one.
The second half followed a similar pattern but for some reason at a slower pace, neither side really getting out of the blocks second half, but again Stones failed to breakthrough. Jolly had a penalty saved on 65 minutes when Hemmerdinger was fouled and it was Jolly again whose goal was disallowed for offside from another player, but there was little else positive about the Stones going forward.
Berkhamsted sensed a win in the last few minutes and an excellent challenge from Morgan quelled one attack, while a Carter save and a Courtnage last gasp block also prevented the home side from stealing the points.
