Match Preview

The Hawks welcome AFC Sudbury to the Harlow Arena for our Ryman League Division One North match.

Hot on the heels of the 3-2 away win over Haringey Borough, the Hawks will be looking to earn another three points to continue the rise up the league table.

The midweek win took Harlow to 35 points, just five points outside the playoff positions. The Hawks also still have games in hand over teams above. Sudbury meanwhile are in the hunt for promotion, fourth in the league and 10 points ahead on 45. They have however played two games more.

Harlow’s home form has been imperious this season, and they are yet to be beaten in the league at the Harlow Arena. The laser-levelled 3G pitch may be one reason for that, but that slight home advantage will be wiped out as Sudbury also play on an artificial surface.

Sudbury have won four, drawn one and lost one of their last six game, returning a healthy 13 points from a possible 18. Harlow’s dip in form has begun to turn around, with three wins, a draw and two losses in the same period.

With both teams falling at the semi-final hurdle in last season’s playoffs, the targets will once again be set on promotion, so it should be a competitive game.

Kick off is at 3:00pm, on Saturday 5th December 2015.
