Herne Bay Harriers Colts got of to a good start scoring within two minutes only to see the referee  cancel the goal out because the ball hit him on the way through to the striker C. Sargeant !!!

With Christmas nearly upon us Herne Bay Harriers Under 9 Colts finished for the Christmas break with a 0 - 9 victory away to Stars and Stripes.

J. Burrows, the wing wizard, got Harriers of to a magical start with a left foot tap in after ten minutes after A. Taylor squared the ball across the box after some good wing play.

Harriers totally dominated the entire game. Chance after chance went begging until C. Sargeant, the fox in the box, hit the target to make it 0 - 2 at half time.

The second half got underway and Harriers went through the gears with A. Taylor, the wing wizard, adding to the score line after a superb cross to the near post from C. Sargeant and with the maestro, J. Mercer, pulling all the strings in midfield, switching the ball left and right, chance after chance was being created.

C. Sargeant got his second of the game shortly followed by Mercer himself bringing the score line to 0 - 5.

With Harriers still piling on the pressure, Norman Nippy, J. Spiller added yet another goal, the Harriers were now rampant, attacking at will, C. Sargeant adding another two to his tally making it four for the day.

It was then decided to only play with one defender and a wing back M. Farbrace and J. Burrows and to move K. Connolly, the demolition man, forward and he latched onto some sublime one and two touch football to unleash a super strike which hit the Stars and Stripes keeper and rebounded back to Connolly and he rifled the ball back into the top of the net from twelve yards out to end the scoring at 0 - 9 to the Harriers.
