Stratford Town were not good enough in both boxes, says Gavin Hurren

MANAGER Gavin Hurren says Stratford Town were made to pay for their missed chances, as they bowed out of the FA Trophy at the hands of Royston Town for the second successive year.

The Crows had beaten the Bards 2-1 at Garden Walk last season and they won by a similar scoreline at the Arden Garages Stadium this time around.

It had all started so well for the Bards when Dexter Walters’s cross was diverted into his own net by Joel Makatani-Brown in just the third minute.
