East Men's League Premier B
Harpenden 5 Wapping 3
AFTER a disappointing draw against Bourne last week, Harpenden returned to winning ways with an impressive victory against Wapping.
Harpenden's team performance was significantly improved from the previous week and the win was well deserved, if not comfortable.
The Harpenden scoring was opened by Man of the Match Todd Baines when he followed up a shot from Lance Boyd-Clarke. Wapping soon equalised with a short corner but the home team regained the lead with a short corner strike of their own from the impressive Mike Emes.
From the next corner, skipper David Jeffrey followed up a Paul Davison strike to increase the lead to two goals before the interval.
