Tring 0 - 4 Mill Hill Mill Hill signed off their season in style with a convincing over a demoralised Tring side in west Hertfordshire.  In the battle for scraps at the bottom of the table, Mill Hill have shown themselves to be considerably hungrier than their rivals, losing just one game of six against the rest of the bottom four. Of course their cause was helped by arch pie-man Ryan Sclanders who has gobbled up goals like an insatiable pac-man.  He helped himself to four more on Saturday, showing strength, guile and pace. His final finish, from within inches of the touchline on his reverse side was a goal of the highest order that killed off Tring like the flamboyant but efficient death blow of a matador.  Where Sclanders was clinical in front of goal, keeper Mike Ellis was cynical. The game could have turned out very differently if the umpires had spotted a blantant back stick clearance off the line from an early Tring short corner. Having kept that one out Ellis had no more need to resort to illegal means as the form he has hit in recent fixtures continued with a string of confident saves.  Belying the 113 odd-goals they conceded in the rest of the season Mill Hill’s defence was stout. Dan Stockhill, who played a blinder for the rest of the game, nevertheless did his best to cause a scare or two. His inevitable hospital pass so nearly gave Tring a walk in on goal while he handed them a free hit on top of the D with a wayward 7 iron from a 16 yard hit.  Midfield general and part-time captain Pete Lazlett seemed to be missed early on as Mill Hill lacked shape. But Craig McIntyre, Apay Oway-Obanga, Matt Larner and Nick Warr quickly started to pull together and suffocate their opponents.  Like MPs expenses, the 2008-9 season has been sometimes embarrassing but ultimately rewarding. New faces like Larner, Ian Namey and Ellis have fitted in alongside battlescarred veterans Mike Solomons and David Evans. Pete’s dour motivational talks have been spiced up by the passion of Oway-Obanga and most times he’s managed to remember the scoreline long enough to phone it in to the league.  The only blemish on the team’s bonding has come from a hardcore of grumpy pessamists who argued that Mill Hill should never have accepted promotion in the first place. How wrong they have been proved.
