Haringey were crowned champions of the Essex Senior League last season, and this sees their return to the Isthmian league for the first time in 25 years.

The step up has been tough, and they’ve struggled so far this season. Haringey are currently 22nd in the league table with six points from their first 11 games. A 1-0 win over Romford last weekend saw them double their points tally, and they’ve also put in some impressive performances at home against Cray and against Bury Town, two promotion-chasing sides.

They are 19th in the form table, with one win, one draw and four losses in the last six games. Harlow have returned 15 points in the same period, with five wins and one loss.

The defeat against Thamesmead brought to an end a seven game winning streak which saw the Hawks move up the league table. They currently stand just outside the playoff places with 20 points from 10 games, but it’s very tight with only three points separating 2nd from 7th.

Kick off is at 7:45pm, on Tuesday 29th September 2015.

Don’t forget, if you can’t make the game, you can follow goal and match updates on the Harlow Town FC Twitter and Facebook pages.
