We're doing great as well, lost on penalties to Kettering in play off semi last season so nice revenge. Think bookies have us as favourites to get promoted. See you at the burger van 7.45 kick off.

Yeah they've recently signed 

Hing disabled Woo

Min Jo Phuk

Pak Jung Wank (who's a far better player than his name suggests)

 

Total outlay: 6 bags of rice and free takeaways for a year to their agents from the Golden Chopsticks.

I’m away with Shepshed at Bourne Town.

Nice little ground at Bourne.....my fathers side of the family lived there,so have been a few times.

Stamford town.. Come on the Daniels

Redditch United vs Skegness Town is a big deal for the latter this season.

 

They haven't gotten past the preliminary rounds in years, if ever, so playing against a Step 3 side away is a good effort. They've already beaten a Step 4 side in Lincoln United away from home in the Preliminary Round so will be well up for it.

Harborough through after beating leek town 3-0 away

All set up nicely for Tuesday.

Top 2 in league.

We won away 3-2 today to Leiston.

See you got 1-1 draw at home to Halesowen.

 

Where's best place to park at your place?

Leisure centre car park, 3 minute walk, no charge for parking. Today for the second match running no fried onions at the burger van. Coming with my Dirty Leeds supporting mate, think I'll pick up a Singapore chow mein on the way. Good attendance today 804 shame about the result, scrappy game both teams cancelled each other out, suspected a draw beforehand, Halesowen are tough to beat, will have to make up for it on Tuesday 😉

I thought Harborough should have won comfortably yesterday. Could and probably should have been 3 up at half time, but missed chances, Newton being especially guilty. Second half O'Sullivan put one wide that he should have put away too.  Halesowen never really carried much threat, but probably had a decent 15 minutes either side of the goals, but apart from the Halesowen goal, where they got caught from a through ball in behind, Harborough defended well. 

The Harborough subs actually didn't help. Arlott-John was took off, but was Harboroughs biggest threat, Hickey was took off, who although in my opinion, is not the player he once was, was a level above his replacement, Newton took off, and despite his missed chances, was a thorn in their side, with his work rate, and closing down.  Stephens never really got into the game when he came on.

I went to their first game this season, when they won 4-0 against Needham Market, and i thought they were actually much better yesterday, but the missed chances cost then the win they deserved.

Another great result for Harborough Town tonight top of the table clash against Quorn. Unlucky for Quorn to get a red card after 14 mins, thought it should have only been yellow and they played well with 10 men for virtually the whole game.

We missed a hatful of chances and hit the post but pressure told in the end with a 96th minute winner courtesy of the scrappiest of scrappy goals.

Onwards and upwards for the promotion favourites!

PS  nice 4-2 home defeat for Kettering after leading 2-0 against Spalding with a Spalding player scoring a hat trick inside 

8 minutes 🤣

Local non-league has really taken off........it's more a case of, 'Those who aren't going to your local club, get down to Oxford!'
