ROYSTON began the new hockey season with a win over Hertford.
The away side started brightly and went ahead through a goal from Nick Ross.
Royston had chances to extend their lead but were pegged back when the home side bundled the pall past the visiting defence.
The visitors struggled to regain control of the game, and after Hertford made some tactical changes, the home team got a second just before half-time.
Royston remained confident despite the setback, only to go further behind when Hertford converted a penalty, five minuets into the second half.

Although a draw looked the likely outcome Royston still pushed for the victory, which came via a second from man-of-the-match Drage.
