HARLOW took on Level 5 Sudbury on Thursday night at Latton Park in their second friendly of pre season. 

The RedMen made multiple changes from last weeks win over Cheshunt and started with youthful half backs Rhys Eynon (18) and William Howard (19) as well as Owen Mills (18) making his Senior debut at tight head. 7 of the 25 players were aged 21 or younger. 

Sudbury are an experienced well established side from the league above Harlow and showed their class leading 15-0 at half time. But despite missing 10 recognised first team players, Harlow showed great resilience and fought back with 4 second half tries to come out on top on the final whistle. 

Ian Rundall was delighted, “The spirit and discipline showed by all 25 players in the squad was fantastic. I thought we contained the initial storm from Sudbury pretty well after an initial early error and we were clinical in attack when we had the opportunity, I’ll have to watch the analysis back but I believe we scored on every occasion we visited the oppositions 22. The team can feel very please with that performance”

Harlow travel to Southend next week in the final pre season friendly.
