Newly Relegated Harleston

There was a strong expectation that with Harleston being relegated from Premier B last season, that this game would give the 1s a real sense of how competitive they would be in this division. The game could not have started any worse for S & S as Harleston picked up an early goal, but they hit back hard Liam Stevens excellent reverse stick finish, was followed by a goal for Stuart Robson & this all in the first 10 minutes.

S & S dominated the rest of the half with Chris Fell making it three before the break. The second half saw Harleston take the attack to S & S and they brought themselves back onto level terms with two goals.

With the game looking as though it could go either way, a great move by S & S saw Danny Price taken out by the Harleston keeper, the resultant Penalty Flick was then well dispatched by Fell. S & S then secured all three points, Fell collecting a treble, deflecting a Stevens shot into the goal. Two games, two wins, an ideal start to the season.
