On Monday night, the Tudors travelled to Hayes & Yeading United for two 60-minute games on their 3G pitch.

The first game ended 1-1 with Hemel’s Matt Saunders getting an equaliser with a wonderful strike.

The second contest saw Hemel come out on top 4-0 with Scotty Shulton hitting a brace, Alex Osborn adding another and off-season signing Phil Roberts scoring what was described as a ‘worldie’ strike.
