The final score 2 - 0 Brentwood

On the night both teams tried to play football , they kept the ball on the floor and the longer the game went on Stansted started to match Brentwood . Over the 90 minutes Brentwood played some nice quick football and it was good to watch but what impressed me was the attitude the Stansted players showed , kept battling throughout the 90 minutes and for better fortune could have got something from the game.

Its refreshing to see a club giving young players a chance to learn at senior football .
Going forward things look bright at Stansted with Mark Ashford and Michael Walther starting to get the players playing the right way and this is showing in the results. If the players are willing to learn what they are getting taught then in the coming months i can see Stansted being right up there come the end of the season.
