Christmas came early for Harpenden as they avenged a narrow early season defeat by Eton Manor with a comprehensive 41-28 victory in front of the biggest crowd of the season at Redbourn Lane.
A stirring second-half, four-try fight back by Harpenden was not enough to snatch victory at Old Haberdashers, ending their chances of a play-off place.
Harpenden erased the disappointment of their home defeat the previous Saturday against Hammersmith and Fulham with their eighth bonus-point win of the season at Old Merchant Taylors.
Harpenden’s lack of killer instinct forced them to share the spoils in the battle between London 2NW’s second and third-placed teams.
