Watford's Under-21s fell to a 3-0 defeat to Berkhamsted on Tuesday evening (March 7) and were eliminated from the Hertfordshire Senior Cup at the semi-final ...

Elsewhere, Zak Fraser-Grante remained a threat as he tried to force an opening alongside his attacking teammates, but no one was able to break down a reliable and experienced Comrades backline. Following an early burst of action though, chances remained at a premium for either side as Berkhamsted looked to frustrate the visitors in the remaining stages. The home side’s dominance continued and it eventually resulted in the opener on the night.

A burst of three goals in 12 minutes was enough for Berkhamsted to beat Watford 3-0 to reach the Herts Senior Cup Final.

The third goal was a real lesson in how a team can undo you by using their assets to the best of their abilities. Indeed, he was directly involved in two of the goals and was unlucky not to score himself. A minute later it was 2-0. For 20 minutes it was a reasonable contest. Hopefully the young Watford players will take this as a positive learning experience while seeing what the future holds when they progress into the senior ranks. There’s nothing wrong with any of that, but it’s something not many Under-21 games contain.
