The Blues entertained SSML Div One new boys London Lions in their first competitive game of the new season and came out comfortable winners, in front of 47 spectators. There were a number of new faces in the Hertford line-up, which was as follows:

1. Robinson. 2. Cooper. 3. Neill. 4. Charles. 5. Maybury. 6. Mwetaminwa. 7.Perry. 8.Beale. 9. Crowhurst. 10. Musafiri. 11. Korsoveczki.

Subs used: 12. Lawrence (for Mason, 79), 14. Brooks (for Crowhurst, 79), 17. McArdle (for Beale, 63)

The game was a mere two minutes old when OWEN BEALE put the home side ahead with a calm lob over the Lions' keeper. The Blues were two up on 8 minutes when TOM NEILL scored with a cross-cum-shot. The visitors went 3-0 down on 39 minutes, when new boy DAN PERRY scored direct from free kick.

Half Time: Hertford Town 3 London Lions 0

With a tasty looking second round tie away to neighbours Hatfield Town the reward for victory, the Blues were able to take it easy in the second half, making their first substitution on 63mins, Matt McArdle on for goal scorer Owen Beale. Then a double substitution on 79 minutes, with Mason Mwetaminwa and Alex Crowhurst making way for Lawrence and Brooks. London Lions pulled a goal back through ALEX SESTO on 62 minutes, but Hertford held firm to book a visit to Hatfield's new home at The Gosling Stadium in Round 2.
