Ah, Barnet. For so long our footballing superiors, it now seems the tide has turned and the balance of power shifted. Our first handful of meetings underlined the gap that existed between us; them a League club and us a lowly – well – non-league club. The very first, as it goes, was the Herts Senior Cup final and they won easily.
The gap narrowed, however, and the first ‘serious’ meeting of the two sides came in 2001-2 Nationwide Conference campaign. Our time together came to an end when they won the title in 2005, but we soon followed them into the League. And as our recent record shows, we’ve had much more to smile about than they have.
