FC Welwyn (formely Hedgehog FC) and Welwyn Garden United play in the East Herts Corinthian Sunday Football League Premier Division having both moved up from Division One last season. United finished top with FC in the runner's up position. Yesterday was the big Welwyn Derby game played at King George V playing fields.
The two sides had already played against each other in the opening game of the season where FC had won 2-0 thanks to goals from Joe Brunt and Lucas Thurgood but it was United who claimed the local bragging rights in some style with a comprehensive 7-1 victory with goals from Jordan Frowd, Adrain Hamill (2), Nathan Studholme (2) and Tyler Smith.
It was United's second win in their five league games played - they had lost 6-1 last weekend to Wormley based FC Infernos.
The only way is up now for FC Welwyn under the new management of Lucas and Jordan Thurgood who did play well in the opening 30 minutes of the game yesterday only to concede two quick goals and then never got going again as the scoreline suggests. They host FC Alpha this coming Sunday with United on their travels to current table topper's Allenbury's. This will be a very tough game as they have won all seven of their league and cup games played so far - they beat FC Welwyn 10-0 on Saturday 13th October. They also beat United 2-6 in the Senior Divisional Shield in September.
