Herne Bay Harriers 1 Ramsgate Youth 2

Herne Bay Harriers Under 15’s lost against Ramsgate Youth FC 2 -1 in the Parker Steel Division 3 clash.

In a very even match, the Harriers could not finish Ramsgate off, with stand in keeper, C. Monticolombi pulling of a number of first class saves, but he could do nothing about Ramsgate’s opener midway through the first half. The Harriers should have taken the lead with chance from J. Bishop, which went wide, R.Gower, who blasted the ball against the post and D. Marsden’s head, which hit the crossbar.

In the second half the Harriers conceded and early goal, which resulted in them having to chase the game and exposing their back four. M. Epps, J. Gould, J. Putnam and T. Watts in the Harriers defence all performed superbly well, keeping the score respectable.

More chance fell to the Harriers, with shots from B. Sargeant, Man of the Match L. Senft and R.Tait. The Harriers eventually clawed a goal back when J. Bishop beat the off side trap, and head the ball of the advancing keeper.
