Harlesden Harps - Club Notes 19th April

Upcoming fixture: 

Harlesden Harps open up their 2021 league campaign this weekend against Parnells, details tbc, keep an eye on https://twitter.com/harlesdenharps during the week for details.

Previous match: 

2021 football is back! After the long winter lockdown Harlesden Harps had their first game of the year under the sunny skies of Greenford with a  challenge match win against St. Brendans. A good dry day for football we had a nice spread of 6 different scorers which saw us triumph on a scoreline of 1-08 to 1-07. Early days of course but good to get back out playing and shake of any rustiness and help us prepare for the tougher games to come. Certainly plenty to be confident about for the upcoming league campaign and most especially for the Junior Championship semi-final in three weeks time.

Training: 

Training continues every week taking place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, at 7:00pm in The Shamrock Club, 307A Horn Lane, Acton, W3 0BP (nearest tube station: North Acton on the Central Line). A physio will be there on Tuesdays for any niggles you may have. 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.
