HRB Sport on the road to Wembley

After an encouraging week for HRB teams with a win for Hadley and useful league points for Barnet and Wingate & Finchley, Saturday Sport returns with another mouthwatering League and Cup Cocktail.

3 steps to Wembley for the Bees as they hope to follow up a hard fought draw at promotion chasing Sutton with success in the Trophy at league rivals Fylde. The hosts put 6 past Havant & Waterlooville in midweek to create a 3 point gap between Barnet and the bottom 4.

Wingate & Finchley remain in the drop zone after being held 2-2 by Bishops Stortford. Into Rapai and Sean Cronin gave the Blues a 2-1 lead and hope of a first win in 12 before the visitors equalised, all goals coming on the first half in stark contrast to the team’s dramatic result last weekend.

Hadley returned to the top of the table through goals from Ibrahim Camara and Emanuel Hammond in their 2-1 win over Wembley though Saracens stay at the top may be short lived. Gloucester won the Friday night match 30-24 though the Men in Black did secure a losing bonus point after tries from Rhodes, Gallagher and Wray plus the boot of Lozowski reduced a 13 point interval deficit.

Solihull Moors 2 BARNET 2

A last minute strike from Moors Kyle Storer robbed 10 man Barnet of a memorable away win against the league leaders. Wes Fonguck and Shaq Coulthirst put the visitors into a two goal lead before Ashley Charles was red carded. Moors then fought back through Storer and Nathan Blissett to earn a point.

Merthyr Town 0 HENDON 2

Hendon recorded their first win in 14 games despite having Luke Tingay red carded. A Shaquille Hippolyte-Patrick penalty four minutes before the break and a 70th minute goal by Connor Calcutt were enough to give the Greens the points.

Folkestone Invicta 2 WINGATE & FINCHLEY 2

An amazing comeback saw The Blues score twice in injury time to earn a valuable point in their fight against relegation. When late goals by Ian Draycott from the penalty spot and Adam Yusuff put Folkestone 2-0 Up it looked as if there was no way back for Dave Norman’s team. Wingate though had other ideas with last minute goals from Anthony Mendy and Alieu Njie stunned their hosts.

HRB Sport Rairing to Go

With a Wembley date still on the cards for Barnet following Tuesday night’s victory in the FA Trophy, the route planner to the famous Arch includes a 460 mile round trip to Wesham, Lancashire. All 3 goals in the replay came within the first 20 minutes, Shaq Coulthirst scoring twice for the Bees, the second directly following Carshalton’s equaliser through Jacob Mendy.
Darren Currie’s team face their toughest challenge yet, distance aside, with a visit to their National League rivals AFC Fylde next Saturday.
The team must now focus on avoiding being drawn into the relegation places as they begin an intensive period of matches. From now until early April the Bees play twice a week, beginning with today’s visit to league leaders Solihull Moors.
To provide the club with the impetus needed in league and Trophy, Darren Currie’s coaching team has been strengthened by the appointment of Junior Lewis as Assistant Head Coach and Dan Senda as First Team Coach. Luke Swindlehurst, currently London Bees Head Coach steps into Senda’s previous role with the Under 18s.
League points are vital for all our clubs this weekend with the majority in the same predicament, while Hadley chase their first South Midlands Premier title.
Wingate & Finchley’s quest to avoid the drop suffered a setback on Wednesday when Tonbridge Angels took all 3 points at the Maurice Rebak Stadium. Hope of a rare win was raised when Reece Beckles-Richards opened the scoring on 17 minutes, however Joe Turner converted a penalty to equalise with 20 minutes remaining and Jared Small scored the winner shortly before the final whistle. The Blues are 3 points from safety but have a game in hand.
Hadley’s ground breaking season saw a dual celebration this week. Victory in the Herts Charity Shield quarter final on Tuesday against Welwyn Garden City with sub Ibrahim Camara scoring the only goal then 24 hours later the team’s tenure as league leaders was extended when second placed Biggleswade FC lost at Baldock.
Saracens have a chance to return to the top of the Premiership. Gloucester’s victory at Kingsholm over league leaders Exeter means the Men in Black can replace the west country side with a 20 point victory margin containing at least 4 tries.

BARNET 0 Sutton United 1

The Bees made a disappointing return to league action against a well organised Sutton line-up. In a game of few chances James Dobson’s 36th minute free kick curled into the top right corner awarded after David Tutonda brought down Gime Toure proved the difference between the teams. Shaq Coulthirst and Wes Fonguck had Barnet’s best chances. Coulthirst putting his effort into the side netting after beating goalkeeper Ross Worner, Fonguck producing the best from the visiting keeper who pushed his goal bound effort over the bar. A frustrating afternoon also saw Simeone Akinola leave the field in tears after sustaining what looked a serious injury after coming on at half time.
