Upcoming fixtures: 

Harlesden Harps will play the second round of their VGC Services Intermediate Football Championship against Garryowen on Wednesday 21st August at 6:45pm at Greenford, pitch one, London, UB6 0NZ, referee: Mattie Maher. As usual, make sure you check public transport is in use and for any likely traffic delays, etc and ensure everyone is at the venue nice and early for a proper preparation for the game. Let’s go all out to get our campaign back on track in this years championship.

Previous Matches: 

Harps began their championship crusade on the hollowed surface of Ruislip against Éire Óg recently. Alas, it was an unsuccessful day in the end as we succumbed to the men from Downhills Park. Plenty of battling performances from the Harps with the likes of Ben O’Mahoney and Dan Howlin popping over a couple of good points and Kurtis Walsh and James Mannion battling gamely. However, overall it was flat and uninspiring from the Harps men and a huge improvement is definitely needed for the next championship game (see above). Final score Harlesden Harps 0-07 Éire Óg 2-10.

Training: 

Training continues each week taking place on Tuesday and Thursday evening, at 7:45pm in The Shamrock Club, 307A Horn Lane, Acton, W3 0BP (nearest tube station: North Acton on the Central Line). Any new players wishing to "play a bit a ball" are very welcome to come along to this well-run club. If needed we can offer good jobs, along with accommodation and a social life to our members. Transport to and from training and pick up from local stations can also be arranged.
