U16
Harrow Youth Football League Division 1
FOREST UTD RED 2-0 VENCEREMOS
Lost 2-0, but the referee has his work cut out to control a game. We played some lovely, creative football however a couple of defensive errors and lucky bounces gave them opportunities for their two goals, massively against the run of play. Then their behaviour disrupted the game in the second half, with a long delay for the sending-off incidents, and we had a couple of chances to get a goal back, but it wouldn’t quite fall for us. A season closer to forget, with three key players out injured (two more after the game!) PR: 7.5
U15
Harrow Youth Football League Division 4
VENCEREMOS 0-4 HANWELL TOWN BLUE
Battling performance against the clear cut winners of the division. The best in terms of desire and determination we have seen the boys play this year. Steady start to the game with both teams battling away, HTB went 1-0 up after about 15 minutes but the V's had two very close chances that skimmed the woodwork and if one of those had gone in it would have been a very different game. Just before half time their number 30 scores a free kick from about 30 yards out but the boys do not get disheartened and carried on pressing up the pitch and came very close again. The second half was a very even half with some strong challenges coming in from both sides. We had the better opportunities and should have been back in the game. With about 10 minutes to go we lost concentration at a corner and let in another. With that we slung everyone forward and just before the end got caught out. If we had taken our chances it would have been a very different game as we had rattled Hanwell who kept to their same team until the 4th goal went in. Reflecting after the game, if we had played with this intensity and tenacity in some of our other games, we would not have had as many draws and losses. Something very positive to build on for next season.
