Hayes & Yeading's second 60 minute practice match at the SKYex against a much stronger National League South Hemel Hempstead side saw the game end honours in a 4-0 victory for the visitors.
Unlike the first match, this one took a while to get going but again the first chance fell to Paul Hughes' side when 'keeper Laurie Walker kicked a clearance straight to Duncan Culley, the United striker lobbing the ball from distance towards the vacant net but his effort was just too high.
Four minutes later the Tudors Scott Shulton had fired into both bottom corners of Luke Daley's net to give the visitors a comfortable two goal advantage with 17 minutes played.
Three minutes from the break Culley got to a ball whipped in from the left before Walker only for a well placed defender to kick the ball off the line. Just a minute later a third arrived for the visitors as former United man Alex Osborn slid the ball past Daley from an acute angle, beating the United 'keeper at his near post.
Number four for the Tudors came just 15 seconds after the re-start as Phil Roberts cracked an unstoppable 20 yard drive into the top corner of Daley's goal.
Two chances came United's way, Toby Little crossed to Lee Barney in the centre of the box, the striker's deft control saw him get a shot away that was superbly tipped over by Walker who also comfortably grabbed a Culley 25 yard effort minutes later.
The final effort of the game came six minutes from time, Daley was again beaten from range but this time the post saved him as the ball rebounded straight back to him.
