On a cold, raw afternoon which kept a few away, Hertford "got out of jail" with a last minute equaliser, as they continued to struggle for home form. Visitors Chalfont St Peter, always a threat to Hertford at Hertingfordbury Park in recent seasons, had themselves snatched a late goal which looked like a match winner, only for Ryan Redford to pop up at the end with his 46th strike of the season.

Bradley Bubb was booked for a 40th minute foul on Wade and then Lewis got away from Kilroy, shooting across the face of goal
As the whistle blew for half-time there was a bizarre incident, when Ryan Wade punched the ball away, and Chalfont's substitute Danny Edwards came off bench and pushed Wade over, for which he is shown a straight red card.

As the crowd shivered, there was not a lot of promise of a goal to warm them up - Kevin Cooper's 59th minute lob was gathered by 'keeper Power-Simpson, who then held a 64th minute Ryan Redford cross at full stretch.
Hertford introduced substitute Panayiotis Panayiotou for Phil Goss on 65 minutes, and then Kevin Cooper headed to Lee Roberts, Michael Power-Simpson flapped at the cross, but Ryan Redford was unable to finish off the move with a goal.
Hertford made a second substitution on 70 minutes, when Nicky Marsh came on for Tony Neilson. Then the unthinkable happened on 77 minutes as far as the home fans were concerned - the visitors took the lead. Mark Virgo punched the ball away and fell to ground. Barry Brosnan Brosnan headed back towards goal, and the ball cleared Virgo , helped on by Glenn Draper - with the goal accredited to Brosnan, with a strong hint of own goal about it.
With only minutes to go, Bradley Bubb fired over, but in the final moments, Lee Roberts was brought down by Steve Nott-Macaire who was booked. Roberts' free kick was headed on by Panayiotou and although parried by the 'keeper RYAN REDFORD was there to cash in with the equaliser.
