v Clayton le Moors.
It looked like it was going to be one of those games,
Harwood had most of the possession hitting the upright and the post, the
Clayton keeper stopping everything that was fired at him.Clayton
looked dangerous on the break but were contained by the Harwood Defence leaving
the keeper with little too do. At half time it was still 0 - 0. Just after the
break Harwood grabbed a goal when the keeper parried away a shot straight to
the feet of Philip Rushton who tapped it in from six yards.Two Minutes later Jordan Marsden
made it two slotting past the out stretched keeper. Daniel Norris came off
the bench ten minutes into the second half to score a thirty yard shot into the
top corner with his first touch of the game to get the
third. Clayton still had chances in the second half hitting the upright and
forcing a couple of saves from keeper Jonathan Rushton. Danny
Smith headed home the fourth from a cross from Scott Noon. Man of the
Match. Jordan Marsden added a fifth with an almost
identical goal to his first. Liam Noon also came off the bench to head
home the sixth at the back post from a Danny Smith cross. Not to
be out done the third substitute Nathan Marsden
grabbed a late goal to make it seven when it bobbled through the keepers hands.
It was certainly a game of two halves with some inspired substitutions. Final
score 7-0
