Harlow Town 3 v 2 Thamesmead Town

RayDyer — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:30:42 +0000

HARLOW Town certainly made hard work of it as they wrapped up their Ryman division one north home campaign with a 3-2 win over mid-table Thamesmead Town on Saturday
The hosts went in front through Reece Dobson on 18 minutes. He hammered a brilliant shot into the top right corner from the left edge of the box. But the visitors were level after a great finish from Theo Fairweather-Johnson into the top left corner on 26 minutes following poor defending from Harlow left-back Michael Deane.
Two goals in six minutes before the break gave Harlow a commanding lead. A lovely ball from Ryan Maxwell split the Thamesmead defence as Danny Elmes chipped the keeper on 38 minutes. Elmes was on target again, making it three in two games since signing, on 42 minutes. Mark Taylor’s right-wing cross was headed in by Elmes from six yards after the striker rose above two defenders to nod in.
There was controversy on 52 minutes when Deane was punished for handball in the box and Ashley Probets fired in the spot-kick. This decision was extremely harsh. However, Harlow held on and could have added to their tally.

Harlow Town 2 v 3 Waltham Forest

RayDyer — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:05:56 +0000

Harlow Town’s play-off hopes ended when they lost at home to Waltham Forest in Ryman League division one north on Saturday
The defeat was Harlow’s third in a row and left them in 8th spot and nine points behind the last play-off spot (fifth) with just two matches left.
In losing the Hawks surrendered a two-goal lead. A penalty converted by Piers Wixon after Reece Dobson was brought don in the area on 12 minutes then a well taken goal by Danny Elmes on 29 minutes gave the Hawks a 2-0 lead.
However the visitors scored twice through Jamie Moore (a direct free-kick) and a deflected Chris Taylor shot on 32 and 34 minutes to make it 2-2.
The Hawks had chances to take the lead when Wixon hit the post from 10 yards and both Elmes and Dobson went close.
Waltham’s winner came deep in extra time from Joel Palmer after a quickly taken free-kick by Bertie Brayley just outside the visitors penalty box was intercepted.

Harlow Town 2 v 1 Redbridge

RayDyer — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:39:40 +0000

IF the Hawks can show the passion and desire they illustrated in Tuesday’s win over play-off hopefuls Redbridge during the rest of the season, there is certainly no reason why Danny Chapman’s men cannot go up this term. Harlow Town fought back from a goal down to grab a deserved win over their rivals and close the gap on the play-off places to four points. After back-to-back league defeats and the loss of three key players in a tumultuous week for Hawks heading into this game, the cynics had suggested this could be Chapman’s last game in charge – how wrong they were!
The Hawks came out fighting from the start only to suffer a huge blow when centre-half Ryan Kirby scored an own goal to gift the visitors the lead on 11 minutes. A long throw from Motormen right-back Billy Sendall – who was a thorn in Harlow’s side all night – was nodded up and over Hawks keeper Bertrand Bossu as the centre-half attempted to clear the danger. In a first half of few real chances, Ryan Maxwell’s great 25yd shot on 36 minutes was turned away superbly by Redbridge’s former Bishop’s Stortford keeper Joe Wright. At the other end, Matt Turpin put the ball in but this was deemed offside.
Harlow’s best move came minutes before the break as lovely play from Dave Cowley and the impressive Bertie Brayley ended with Jeff Hammond firing just over the bar. But two goals in five second-half minutes turned this game on its head. On 48 minutes, Cowley’s free-kick from the left was not cleared by the Redbridge defence and Luke Marshall stabbed low into the net. Five minutes later it was 2-1. Mark Taylor’s driving run into the box saw him cut back from the byline to Cowley and his shot was stopped on the line, but deflected off another hapless Redbridge defender and went in. Kilapi, Hammond and Cowley wasted great chances to put this game to bed.
The sight of influential midfielder Danny Brown as a late sub was also a welcome sight for Hawks fans. He has been out for two weeks with a rib injury. As time ticked on there was a tremendous save from Wright to turn away Hammond’s bicycle kick from 7 yards out on 88 minutes. Wright bettered this in injury-time. Cowley’s free-kick in stoppage time was heading in until the keeper’s stunning tip-over save. But these proved in vain as Harlow gained a well-deserved three points to reignite their play-off charge.
