Chesham made the visit to Earlsmead this afternoon. Having welcomed Harrow Borough to the Meadow on Tuesday, they made the journey across London for the return fixture. In the last encounter the two sides played out a goalless draw. Josh Strizovic on fine form that evening. Four points out of six the target for either outfit.
An immediate impact on the game happened when Chesham Untied scored five minutes in. Diving header from Kouassi, after taking the cross from Oliyide perfectly. Harrow left standing. Continuing with a bounce in their step the guest got close, pressing host fullbacks to make chances. Amit Biller being shown up once again. In periods the home side seemed to create good passages of play, but it did not count for anything. Anthony O Connor having a chance at goal which did not find its way in after being hit forcefully. Trying to find an equaliser Sam Adanola delivered a cross which went out as we approached the break.
At half time the game was close between the sides. As we also saw on Tuesday. Chesham were narrowly ahead after forty-five minutes, but it was a tight contest. Getting his second of the match Kouassi scored on the fifty-nineth minute. Harrow failed to clear the ball, handing Chesham a chance to finish. Slotted past Josh as it rolled into the net. Moments later the visitors had a third. Former QPR youngster Brandon barzey getting on the scoresheet. Identical finish to the last, they now have another to pad their goal difference. Break away opened up the field in front of the player for him to convert. Sixty-four minutes gone and a mountain to climb for Steve bakers’ men. As the game fell into a slip and slide Harrow made desperate changes, triple sub made their way onto the pitch. Including club icon Marc Charles Smith who has been out injured. Unfortunately, the host were not able to find a goal this tie. Coming close from a George Moore effort was as near as they got. However, Chesham managed to get another. Fourth goal coming in the eighty sixth minute. Dropping deep from Harrow let Chesham bring more men forward, giving them free roam of the final third. Barzey nutmegging the keeper to end todays scoring in style.
In conclusion Harrow looked to be in the game at half time. Chesham United grew as they game went on, proving to be unstoppable after the break. Nothing the home side could do. After Tuesdays draw the visitors came all guns blazing it could be said. Some unexpected comments heard from the side lines in the first half were unpleasant, and are not appreciated at Earlsmead.
