Harlow Town 4-0 Waltham Forest
Goals from Robbie martin, James Smith, Daniel Brown and Shane Stamp gave Harlow all 3 points.
Harlow got off to the perfect start. Shane Stamp weaved past a couple of Forest players before being fouled. Robbie Martin curled the freekick right in the top corner on 3 minutes.
After the goal, it sparked a flurry of opportunities for both sides. Fisher went close for Forest with a curling freekick being well saved by Darren Behcet. Also Mckenzie nearly got one back but again Behcet was on hand to stop the former hawks player. Harlows good chances came to Leon Antoine. A freekick from another Martin was met powerfully by Antoine by headed straight to the keeper. Minutes later Layne Eadie’s cross was perfect for Antoine but this time headed wide.
The final chance of the half went to Harlow. Fantastic skill from Smith to bring the ball down under control laid off Sub Dadson whose shot was pushed away by the keeper.
Half Time and Harlow should have been three or four up however, Waltham Forrest were looking a better team that had only sealed two wins this season.
The second half got underway the same way as the first. An early second half goal settled any nerves that were present. It was a good counter attacking move from Harlow and resulted in a fine finish. Alex Read slipped through James Smith who kept his composure and slotted home to put Harlow 2-0 up on 49 minutes.
Forest then had a good ten minute spell with Mckenzie, Scott and Menga all having good chances to get back into the game. But the biggest chance Forest had was with Oyewale whose cracking effort was saved by Darren Behcet.
However moments later, Harlow were awarded a penalty. Shane Stamp got past his man and was brought down by on rushing defender. Daniel Brown stepped up to the spot and smashed in the bottom left corner on 68 minutes.
And to round off the result Shane Stamp sealed all 3 points with a fantastic finish. Smith took on two players and set Shane Stamp to sweep away a fantastic move on the 69th minute.
