|
Harriers' chance of a Treble is still alive as they reach the Final
of the Herefordshire Youth Cup, which they are holders of, to go
with the Worcestershire Youth Cup that they have already won and the
League which they are still challenging for.
Despite dominating possession yet again, the obviously weary Harriers youngsters, playing their sixth game in ten days, struggled to break down their hosts. Playing up a severe slope on a bumpy pitch, Harriers wasted a string of chances, Nick Heath shot high or wide four times in the opening period before the breakthrough came. Danny Smith got forward well and fired in a shot which the keeper could only parry and Dale James was left with an easy tap in. Playing down the hill after the break, Harriers continued to dominate and Ledbury rarely got out of their own half. When they eventually did, a good pass split open the Harriers defence and John Danby was left stranded as he was beaten with a 25 yard lob. Ledbury's revival was soon over, Heath's free kick was allowed to run into the penalty area and Richard Hall lashed the ball home. The game was effectively over soon after with Harriers' third, Richard Bailey set Matt Reeves free on the right, he was well tackled but the ball ricocheted of another defender and the keeper again could only parry it into the path of James who poked it into the empty net. Matt Reeves completed the scoring in the last minute, curling a free kick over the wall into the top corner for his eighteenth goal of the season. |
