Christmas cracker at Clarence Park.

A rip snorter of a game.

Boxing Day in the UK means local derbies for many football fans. It does not matter at what level the teams play at these games always have extra edge and meaning.

Today’s fixture at Clarence Park between St. Albans City and Hemel Hempstead Town proved to be of no exception.

This  National League South mid table contest thrilled a bumper crowd of almost 1500  citizens of West Hertfordshire.  St. Albans won the game 2 -1. The winning goal was a very accomplished header from a corner 10 minutes before time.

A great afternoon’s entertainment and I also won a raffle prize.

I can’t complain.
