Ware 0 Hertford Town 2

| By Stephen King

Hertford’s last win at Ware came on 29th August 2005 in the Associate Members Trophy.  That was in a season when Ware won the Isthmian League division two championship.  Back then the excuse for defeat would have been that they hadn’t fielded their full league side. Ware could try a similar excuse this time, with … Continued

London Lions 0 Ware 3

This result has eased some of the doubts that have crept in after Ware’s opening day league defeat; the less than convincing win in their next game; and the FA Cup exit.  In fact, after a slow start, Blues grew into this game and might have had more than the three goals. Initially however, hopes … Continued

Ilford 1 Ware 1 (lost 3-5 on penalties)

| By Stephen King

There are frustrating games that never seem to quite get going.  From Ware’s point of view this was one of them as Ilford recovered from a goal down to fight for their place in the next round. Ware’s goal came after two minutes when Theo Ofori took the ball past a defender before shooting beyond … Continued

Ware 1 Leighton Town 1

| By Stephen King

This was a game between two teams with no relegation fears and no promotion hopes. Yet, with seemingly nothing to play for this was no easy going stroll as both sides contrived to play a game that through a slow burning fuse, built to an exciting climax. Eight bookings (four a-piece) suggests there were some … Continued

Welwyn Garden City 0 Ware 2

| By Stephen King

Paul Halsey had a lot to be happy about at the end of this game. One of the things that pleased him was Ware’s adaptability to the injury problems they have had and especially the way they have affected his central defence. Since the turn of the year there have been five different players in … Continued

Ware 6 Aylesbury United 2

| By Stephen King

With Ware unbeaten in ten games and Aylesbury not having won in nine, supporters might have been worried that the gods of football would be looking on and toying with them. Surely this game was ripe for an away win upset. It did look possible for more than half the game. In what was an … Continued

AFC Dunstable 0 Ware 0

| By Stephen King

Thirteen is thought to be an unlucky number but for Ware it seems less the bringer of bad fortune than the result of it. For the third game running Blues fielded thirteen players with their injury problems meaning they were unlikely to bring on any more than two of their named substitutes. Worse, they played … Continued

Ware 1 Biggleswade 1

| By Stephen King

Whilst this wasn’t the best advert for football on non-League Day it wasn’t the worst either. Two mid-table teams with little tangible to play for cancelled each other out though both had moments when they might have taken a decisive grip on proceedings. There were changes in the Ware team following Tuesday’s performance at Northwood. … Continued

Northwood 1 Ware 3

| By Stephen King

This game could hardly have been any more different to Saturday’s disappointing performance at Kidlington. That was blamed on a lack of experienced players but this game saw only two differences in the starting line from that which commenced in Oxfordshire. Joe Dearman and Jon Clements were back in action and whilst they both made … Continued
