A match not to have been missed, for those who saw it the entrace fee was worth it. Prato from Italy were an even match for the host team Herne Bay United in the latest European League game on the 15th of this month. The match play was so different from HBU’s match with CP Vic from Spain last month where the home team lost 14 – 0, HBU applied the pressure throughout the first half but the Italians found holes in the HBU defence and were rewarded for their efforts.

HBU did come out in the second half with a slight attitude adjustment and played the best I have seen for some time, Brendan Barker pulled all the stops trying to pull two goals out of the bag but only managed one more. If we had had another five minutes I think we could have seen a different final score. HBU 2 – 3 Prato. Lets hope lessons have been learned and the Brits can show the Italians we can be a force to be reckoned with at the return match on 15th March 2008 at Prato.
