Bank holiday Monday brought Hayes and Yeading to Harrow Borough. The fixture being played at Earlsmead Stadium, in a Southern Premier league match. Giving the host a chance to correct their previous poor performance. Losing seven nil to severe spending Weston Super Mare.
Getting the match going this afternoon was a chance for the visitors. An inviting run down the wing, opening up the opportunity. Heading wide of the post. Trying again a similar pattern played out. This time proving to be less successful. Carrying on the pressure, Hayes and Yeading won a free kick. Powerful push keeping the header away from the goal. Knocking the ball on, Mos Bettamer picked out Moses Emmanuel, allowing a shot by Paul Hodges. Who saw his effort saved before a rebound came to the same outcome. Up the other end, Harrow managed to have a chance. Dirty deflection taking the shot astray. Starting a stale period where a shot could not be produced. Breaking the deadlock, James Ewington found the back of the net. Fabulous work from the home team kept the possession high up the field. Despite difficulties from their opposition. Letting Ewington end of the movement, with a low shot at the near post. Scoring on fourteen minutes. Not long later the guest had levelled the score. Twenty-two minutes in, Paul Hodges put the ball into the net. An unreliable free kick found the player having come of a few bodies. Bringing the match to a halt. Hayes and Yeading caused harm to their former player. James Taylor being injured, having just returned from a concussion suffered in his previous match. Charlie Wassmer also going down to distract the referee from awarding a card. Another horrific hit saw new Harrow signing Sammy Alderson make his way off the pitch. Colliding with Cole Brown, furthering the host injury crisis.
For a second match in a row. The home side had a penalty awarded against them. Amos Nasha making the most out of the situation, which earned him the spot kick. Comfortably converted by Mosses Emmanuel on forty-eight minutes. Back-to-back chances gave Harrow fans second half hope. James Ewington being met by the keeper, as he came rushing out of his goal. As the clock ran down, time wasting tactics began, throwing balls away to delay corners. Launching it long Hayes lacked the ability to play under pressure. Pumping passes away, into areas in which they knew would amount to nothing. Kevin Songolo had the next shot when he found space. Missing the target, time ticking away. Curling an effort, the guest got space for a shot, hardly working the home shot stopper. Going behind for a goal kick. Seeing out the afternoons fixture. Leaving the host still searching for their first win of the season. Six games played, two points and a difficult FA Cup draw the outcome so far.
