A Middlesex match up made its way to Earlsmead this evening. Harrow Borough hosting Hendon, following a previous postponement. Due to the passing of the queen. Leaving a derby day for spectators to watch under the lights. Going into the game, the visitors were stuck at the bottom of the league. Whilst their southern league counterparts also have had a poor start to the season.
Kicking of this match was an injury for the guest. Softly going down in the early exchanges of the affair. Shortly followed by the scoring of the opening goal, Hendon breaking the deadlock. Joseph White working his way into the back post for a header. A cross coming into the box catching the borough backline unaware. Only three minutes after play began. Not long later, the lead was doubled. Converting from the sport. A penalty awarded for a nothing challenging. Former Reds player Frank Kieta going down. Joe White on two goals, after five minutes played. Having the home sides first shot, Sam Adenola adventured into the area, smacking his effort into a defender. Who dived like he was actually hurt. Proceeded by more play acting to halt the game a second time. Once again by the visitors. Trying a smart free kick, George Moore found space out wide. Breaking a way through for the Borough to advance. Brining back-to-back shots for the host. Coming close to getting a goal back. If not for brave blocks, in a crowded box. Counter attacking quickly Hendon were inches away from being further ahead. Rounding keeper Charlie Taylor, rifling one of the posts. Harrow had the ball in the net on forty minutes. However, it was ruled offside by the line’s person.
Getting the second half underway was the host. Flying out the traps at speed, sending George Moore through on goal. Weaving around he worked his way into the area. Setting off a shot which was cleared on the line. To the relief of the tiring visitors team. Remarkably reacting the guest got another. Finding the net from close range. Liam Brooks the scorer, forty-seven minutes in. Pulling one back against all odds. Harrow Borough had finally scored. Billy Leonard bobbling one in, being a positive light in a poor performance. Before the guest got up to their usual tricks again. Having an occasional chance, between diving, or rolling around. Seeing out their first win of the season. Giving them a little hope of staying up. Five minutes added time to give home supporters some more pain ahead of the North Leigh fixture.
