Saturday 11 May 2024, Bishop Stortford Swifts 2 Harold Wood Athletic 2 - EOFL, Premier Division, Silver Leys
My planned game was called off late but had time to get to Bishop Stortford and glad I made the effort. Even if hot, and both teams mid table and nothing to play for, both teams put 100% into the game with plenty of skill on show. Home team had better of the first half and went two up, however Harold Wood got one back just before the break.
Second half and it was the visitors on top, but when they missed a penalty it looked like the home team would take all 3 points, but deep into injury time, a long range shot took a wicked deflection and Harold Wood had a share of the spoils, They certainly deserved a point after their second half display.
Pitch fully roped off and in very good condition, Bishop Stortford Rugby club have the pitch next door. Two clubhouses, one for football - open today, full bar - whilst the Rugby club house ( with attached marquee) is much more modern and larger.
Talk in the clubhouse was of the Swifts moving as they need more space for all their teams. As this game finished, the reserves came out for their match
