Fighting spirit

Saturday 19 March 2022, Long Buckby 0 Harborough Town 0 - United Counties League, Premier Division, South , Station Road

Large sports complex with the football social club on the road next to the Rugby and cricket ground, other side of the cricket ground is the football ground, also a second pitch with a small bit of cover. Inside is one long seated stand and hard standing behind the two goals, people also stood close to the dugouts, even if it looked out of bounds. Small building/shed- being renovated, sold tea, pasties and Real ale!

Expecting plenty of goals and an away win, current form had not seen the home side win for a while and got hammered at home last game, whilst the visitors were in good form,

For most of the game, Harborough had control of the ball , plenty of possession however in the first half it was the home (very young) team who had the best two chances. Second half again saw Harborough have most of the play but not right till the end did they test the home keeper, whilst the young home team gained more confidence and almost scored.

A well deserved point for Long Buckby and the young team did themselves and their club proud.
