Harlow continued their good start to the season as they defeated a low in confidence Tilbury side. Goals from, Martin, Antoine and Dadson gave Harlow the win.

It was a decent start for Harlow as their patient build up play nearly payed off as reads shot was deflected just over. Harlow soon looked to take an early advantage as they were controlling the game, especially in the midfield where Fowler was knocking the ball around for fun.

Harlow got their best chance of the game on the 10th minute, Junior Dadson delivered a great cross to Antoine who headed just wide of the goal.

Harlow had another good opportunity when a long ball from Christian Wheeler was chased down by Alex Read who won the ball well and laid off Martin who's 1st time shot just flew wide.

Tilbury offered very little threat going forward but there only real chance in the 1st half was when Tony Jacobs pulled his cross back, Harlow failed to clear and the ball found its way to pinnock who shot over.

The last chance in the 1st half fell to Jordan Fowler. A searching Cross from Martin was spilled by Tilbury keeper Marrable and Tilbury can only clear to the edge of the box where fowler was waiting but his shot just went over.

In the second half Danny Chapman's team came out fighting.

Alex Read's brilliant hold up play created space for Robbie Martin to make a great run for Read to pick him out, Read did so and Robbie Martin fired in Harlow's opening goal on 49 minutes. 1-0.

Harlow were still controlling the game. The Defence looked solid as Tilbury never looked like scoring with new signings Darren Blewitt and Glen Parry making the defence more secure.

Chances from Read, Antoine and Dadson were all missed to keep the nerves of the Harlow Fans alive.

But on the 71st minute a moment of brilliance from Leon Antoine. Antoine picked up the ball from 25 yards and only had one thing in his mind. He created space for him to rocket a shot into the top corner leaving the Tilbury keeper no chance.2-0

When Harlow got their second they were still trying to create chances but not any clear cut ones.

However to round off a great result for Harlow, they got a third. A smart through ball from Leon Antoine put Junior Dadson through on goal and he slid the ball home to make it 3-0.

Overall, a resounding victory for Harlow who still remain unbeaten. 3 goals, 3 points for Harlow and a great clean sheet.
