Up the 'Borough'

Todays match was at Coles Park where Haringey were playing St. Margaretsbury in the South Midlands Premier League.

Haringey is an amalgamation of Edmonton and Wood Green Football clubs who merged in 1973.

Coles Park is 80 years old and has a large solitary stand on the half way line with changing rooms and clubhouse behind.

The ground may soon be lost to housing. Perhaps a move

up the road to the White Hart Lane Community Stadium might be an option, but personally, 

I hope the club stays where it is.

Haringey were a goal up on 4 minutes courtesy of a penalty.

Against the run of play however, on 27 minutes Anstead equalised with a long range shot that went through the keepers arms.

4 minutes later Worrell made it 2 - 1 

Half time score 2-1

The second half was end to end stuff. McGuiness levelled the scores in the 80th minute. Three minutes later Worrell got his third.

Full time score 3-2

Haringey has now climbed to fifth in the South Midlands League after,

Richard Worrell scored a hat-trick in this 3-2 victory.

'Crows' on fire!!

 Todays visit was to Royston Town in the South Midlands league who

were playing St Margaretsbury.

Garden Walk, the home of Royston Town has quite an unusual

wooden enclosure close to the corner flag complete with wooden flooring.

The only other cover at the ground is a small stand on the other side of the pitch nestling on the half way line.

Behind the goal nearest the turnstile is the clubhouse changing rooms and the obligatory burger van.

Next to the small stand is a portakabin for directors and members.

Behind the far end goal  there is high fencing to stop the ball

going into neighbouring gardens.

Royston nicknamed 'The Crows' go into this match

with a 100% record from 4 games.

'The Crows' were 3-0 up in 18 minutes which for a

neutral supporter like myself was not good as I tend to think 'Game Over'.

'The Bury' (St Margaretsbury) however, started to improve on their

play after the third goal went in.

Halftime time score 3-0 to Royston.

In the second half 'The Crows' could  have doubled the score with more

accurate finishing.

Final score Royston Town 4 - St Margaretsbury 0

Dalton O'Brien scoring a hat-trick!
