Harrow Borough will take on Portsmouth at Fratton Park in the FA Cup. It does not get any bigger than that. Todays match against Wimborne Town could have been seen to be forgotten about, due to the very little mention of it in the days building up to the game. Red’s supporters’ attention is firmly focused on the magic of the cup. Going into this fixture the host beat Kings Langley away, and the guest having abandoned their match against Weston Super Mare in the fortieth minute. Magpies down by three on a waterlogged pitch. Frank Kieta getting both our goals that evening.
Getting action going in South Harrow was a lively George Moore. Shot from twenty yards out, but well saved by the guest keeper. From shot taker to provider the tricky winger got forward again as he crossed the ball into Frank Kieta. Unfortunately, just wide of the post. Joining in on the action was Kunle Otudeko, as he saw his effort narrowly miss. Spinning his marker in the process. Harrow Borough managed to find the net through James Ewington. However, this was ruled as offside. Fans not pleased with the official’s decision. Another fantastic save followed from the Wimborne shot stopper, having prevented a few goal opportunities so far. Definitely aiding his side massively. Tipping over a George Moore effort right before half time.
At the break it was shocking to see the score remain level. Wimborne should be behind, and by a few. As soon as play resumed Frank Kieta had an attempt at goal. Curling his shot just wide of the far post. Billy Terrell keeping his side in the game. With the opposition keeper on fine form Harrow did not score, until the sixty seventh minute. James Ewington tapping the ball across the box for Frank Kieta to finish. Shot with power and accuracy into the corner. Long overdue celebrations! After his hard work George Moore finally got himself on the scoresheet. Whacking the ball from a lay off the wide man doubled the host lead. Two up in the eighty fifth.
In conclusion Wimborne did not deserve to score, let alone win the game. Keeper Bill Terrel the only player to seem up this level. However, the travelling support turned up in numbers and back their team fully. Credit is due. Noticeably, there was a lack of flags this afternoon. A reason I know all too well. Fans not customers!
