Previous Matches:

Harlesden Harps got their league campaign off to a winning start recently with a hard-fought victory over Tir Chonaill Gaels. There was never much between the sides throughout but the accuracy of Paudric McGoldrick kept the scoreboard ticking over for the Harps. A goal each from Owen Bonner and Neil Horan eventually saw us to victory on a final scoreline of Harps 2-12 Tir Chonaill Gaels 1-10.

 

Harlesden Harps also played the semi-final of the Shiel Cup recently against St. Brendan's. As winners of the cup for the past two years this really has become a special competition for the Harps. A positive energetic start was rewarded with an early Ashley O Halloran goal. After scoring raids by both wing backs (Ryan Scullion & Jamie Somers) another goal from Dan Howlin gave us a commanding 2-07 to 0-05 half time lead. The team managed the play superbly in the second half with another well taken Ashley O Halloran goal seeing us to victory on a final scoreline of Harps 3-11 St. Brendan's 1-07. Roll on the final for a chance for the three-in-a-row!
