A VASTLY improved performance against opposition from three divisions above, which although resulted in Harrow's fourth straight defeat gave them great encouragement for the future.

Harlow took the game to the home team right from the whistle and played some exhilarating rugby to score three excellent tries, including a tapped penalty from their own 22 which resulted in a try underneath the posts.

At the beginning of the second half, a huge fight after Finn was kneed deliberately in the back saw Curtis and Kennedy sin binned.

Reduced to 13 men, Harrow took the game to Harlow and conceded no further points in this 10 minute spell and in the remainder of the half scored two penalties courtesy of the boot of Smith.

Harrow were also held up over the line and it was only a breakaway try as Harrow pressed that finally won the game 22-11 for the visitors.
