Plashet 1 Vs Harlow 1

6th December 2008



16 - 0

The last game before the xmas break had already arrived, Plashet played host to Harlow . As the final score line suggests, this was an emphatic win for the men in orange which considerably boosted their goal difference. However, in all fairness to Harlow, they suffered great set backs to their team before the start of the season losing a handful of their regular first team players which has forced them to use many young and inexperienced players, that will only aide them to build for the future.

From the start of the game, Plashet seemed very jaded which allowed Harlow to pass the ball around and create some early opportunities to open the scoring. However, after playing some very average hockey, Plashet opened their goal scoring account just before 10 minutes into the game. For much of the first half Plashet carved out many chances to score goals but eventually finished the first half 6 nil up.

The second half continued the same way in which the first half ended, as the game was completely one sided, Plashet tested the Harlow defenders and shot stopper time and time again, scoring goals at will. The game ended Plashet winning 16 nil, with many players getting on the score sheet, including; Himmat Singh x 5, Inderjeet Singh x 4, Sukhdev Singh x 2, Verinder Singh x 2 and Sant Singh, Harpal Singh and Gurmukh Singh scoring a goal a piece.

It was a good testament to Harlow ’s character during and after the game, although they were well beaten, they kept their heads up and accepted the post match hospitality with great banter and sportsmanship.
