Herefordshire FA 1 Surrey County FA 3

THIS under-18 friendly match was arranged as a preparation for the forthcoming FA County Youth Cup and was a worthwhile exercise.

Surrey opened the scoring through Andy Pitt but midway through the half a cross from Neil Gardiner found Andy Sherlock at the far post to score the equaliser.

Poor defensive work in the second half saw full-back Matt Smalley's attempted clearance fly in for an own goal and a couple of minutes later Jerry Husband added Surrey's third. Surrey goalkeeper John Ashwood then made a fine penalty save from Andy Sherlock.
