Croydon 1,
Harrow Borough 2

Harrow Borough made it two wins out of three in this season's Capital league, and completed a successful double victory midweekfor the club, with this closely fought triumph at Croydon Sports Arena last Wednesday.

After taking some time to settle into a pattern, the visitors forced a series of corners, when Kelechi Duru's cross-shot was cleared off the line. His corners then saw three headers from Forbes and another from Gusavac go just off target.

Good work from Grant Smith ended with his long range effort forcing a good save and Archer shot just over, as Boro' finished the half strongly. The second half followed much the same pattern, so it was no great surprise when the hosts took a 72 minute lead, through McDONNELL's 30 yard chip shot. Parity was soon restored, when Forbes sent a high lob goalwards, 2 minutes later, and in a similar situation to Hakan Sukur's Euro 2000 goal for Turkey v Belgium, Oliver PETERSEN rose to head over the onrushing 'keeper.

Small-King and Willock went close before Boro' netted an 83 minute winner. A forceful and skilful run by Aaron ARCHER ended with the 'keeper blocking his shot, only for the ball to then find three Boro' strikers goal side of the custodian, with Archer netting.
