Harlesden Harps Club Notes

June 10, 2019

Upcoming fixtures:
Harlesden Harps will play a challenge game this coming Tuesday 11 th June at 7:15pm
against Tara’s at Cayton Road, Greenford, UB6 8BJ. This will be a chance to keep the
players ticking over against a fellow intermediate rival before the return of competitive
fixtures again. As usual, make sure you check public transport is in use and for any
likely traffic delays, etc and ensure everyone is at the venue nice and early for a proper
preparation for the game.
The Harps will also play the next round of their league campaign against the Joe’s on
the weekend of 15/16 June, details to be confirmed.
Previous Matches:
Harlesden Harps went down to a well-organised St Joseph’s team recently in the Shiels
Cup quarter final. Joe’s started the brighter and kicked some fine scores to gain the
early upper hand. Although players like Ben O’Mahoney, Darren Murphy and Ashley
O’Halloran battled hard the slightly better fitness levels of the Joe’s told in the end and
saw them home to victory on a final scoreline of St Joseph’s 0-16 Harps 0-07.
Training:
Training continues this week taking place on Thursday evening, at 7:45pm in The
Shamrock Club, 307A Horn Lane, Acton, W3 0BP (nearest tube station: North Acton on
the Central Line). Any new players wishing to "play a bit a ball" are very welcome to
come along to this well-run club. If needed we can offer good jobs, along with
accommodation and a social life to our members. Transport to and from training and
pick up from local stations can also be arranged.
