Beating Welling United in the FA Cup proved to be a significant boost for the players, and supporters of Harrow Borough. Currently on a run of good form the Reds took on Dorchester this afternoon. A club known for their racist fan base. With the squad playing incredibly well recently it was a shock to see Assidjo move on, joining our opponents last weekend after the fixture against them. Steve Baker will now be looking for a replacement. The magpies currently sit low down in the Southern League premier table, having picked up only six points this season. Shockingly beating Walton casuals.
With the first half underway Harrow looked eager to carry on their fabulous form. Starting a similar line up to the last few weeks, Iman Uche being the only noticeable change. Dorchester began the game well with a chance through Papakonstantinou who’s attempt was easily saved. Another chance followed as Purington had a go at goal. However, Borough managed to break the deadlock at Earlsmead. James Taylor was on the end of a cross from a corner, giving the host a lead. Attacking wide with George Moore on the flank is not easy for any opposition, especially one as poor as the magpies. He should have scored a few himself.
The period came to a close with the Reds firmly Infront. Harrow Borough looked miles better than their guest, leaving them very fortunate to only be behind by one. Should have been double digits. As soon as we were back playing this match Harrow found their second. Awful defending from Dorchester handed George a run through on goal, one he was never going to miss. Slotting past the keeper in front of him. Our guest then went on to miss a penalty, which was excellently saved by our on-loan shot stopper. Remember the name Josh Strizovic. Full time then arrived.
In conclusion Harrow Borough continue their winning run. Having won six in a row now, including a FA Cup run. Brilliant atmosphere at the club. Well done to all the players for your efforts so far this season, it has not gone unnoticed. Special mention to the management team who are doing an incredible job.
