Match Preview

The Hawks travel to table-topping Needham Market in what could be a title decider.

Harlow just sit one point behind Needham, and with just two games to go both sides know that a win could define the season. A win for Harlow swings the balance firmly back in their direction, however a win for Needham sees them win the title.

Needham currently have an impressive 100 points from 44 games, with Harlow on 99 points.

Due to the expected attendance being larger than usual, Needham market have released information for supporters that all those attending the game should take note of.

When the two sides met earlier on in the season, Harlow Town were the narrow victors with a 2-1 win that at the time saw the Essex side leap-frog Needham into first position. The Hawks will be looking to do exactly that again in this crucial match.

Harlow go into the game on a good run of form, with five wins and a loss in the last six matches, returning 15 points from a possible 18. Needham Market have stumbled a little slightly, dropping points over the Easter period, albeit against some well-placed sides in the table. They have had three wins, two draws and a loss from the last six games.

Form is likely to go out of the window, and both sides will be approaching the game as a typical “cup tie”. Both sets of players and fans will be highly motivated for the game, and a large attendance and great atmosphere is expected.

There is a supporter’s coach leaving the Harlow Arena at approx 11am, however this is fully booked with no coach tickets available on the day.

The bar at the Harlow Arena will be open from 9am, with the club offering a bacon roll and a pint for £5. You can come along and have some breakfast, and then follow the coach to the ground.
