Let’s keep the good start to the league campaign going.

 

Previous Matches: 

 

Harlesden Harps got their league campaign off to a winning start recently with a hard-fought victory over Parnells. Although Harps had the benefit of an advantageous wind in the first half, it was the home side who got the better of the scoreboard, kicking some fine scores from distance and also netting twice in a couple of minutes mid-way through the half, leading by 7 at the break. A stern talking to was needed and it seemed to do the trick as a rejuvenated Harps emerged in the second half. Goals followed from ‘Gooch’, Ryan Moran and Curtis Walsh. Special mention also to Ben O’Mahoney who expertly steered the ship home and eventually saw us to victory on a final scoreline of Harps 3-11 Parnells 2-12.
