Previous Matches:

With promotion to division 2 already assured, the summer heat saw Harlesden Harps take on Wandsworth Gaels for the first time in their final group league game. A steady first half performance by the boys who attacked well at pace and had assured finishers in Ryan Moran and Ashley O Halloran as well as a Big John Enright goal which saw us build up a commanding half time lead. The tough conditions slowed the pace of the game in the second half but ultimately our first half performance was enough of a cushion to see us to victory on a final scoreline of Harps 3-12 Wandsworth Gaels 0-08. A solid and composed victory to leave us unbeaten so far in this years league, roll on the league final next!
