This disappointing end to the first half of the season left the mixed vets scratching their grey heads as to how this came about.
Were they already thinking about Xmas, having started on the mince pies too early? No, it seems more likely that they were fooled by the underhand Lichfield lot who turned up, quite illegally of course, in blue shirts.
The Sutton lads and lasses spent the first 35 minutes looking for someone in a white shirt to mark and by the time they realised what was going on, the damage had already been done.
