TT No.17: Barry Neighbour - Sunday 27th August 2006 - HELLENIC HOP
Sunday 27th August 2006 Harrow Hill 0 Slimbridge 1; Hellenic League Premier; 28 page programme £1; Attendance: 268; Match Rating: 1*
Harrow Hill play at a well appointed ground in the Forest Of Dean and are a friendly club who deserve to progress. Unfortunately this game was a very poor affair with the one star rating probably being on the generous side.
Very little excitement and far less skill was on show. Just as everyone was convinced the game was heading for an inevitable 0-0 draw Slimbridge snatched a goal to win a very boring encounter. The next game on the Hellenic Hop was at Ross Town but already having visited them before the offer of a roast dinner in town at the local Wetherspoons proved a bigger attraction before taking us on to the third game of the day (and my second).
Pegasus Juniors 0 Shortwood United 4; Hellenic League Premier Division; 20 Page Programme £1; Attendance: 272; Rating: 3*
Pegasus have a new ground with a covered stand which provided a comfortable setting to watch a much better game than was on offer in the morning. The home side had a number of chances in the first-half but they all seemed to fall to their number 9 who to coin a phrase 'couldn`t hit a Barn Door with a Banjo!'. Shortwood's centre-forward Chris Davis showed how it should be done by scoring a well taken hatrick to give the visitors a comfortable 4-0 Victory. Pegasus have a tea bar serving hot food. There are no proper bar facilities at present.
