Ryman Div One North

Harlow Town 2 v 0 Dereham Town

THE Hawks shrugged off any chance of a cup hangover to see off Dereham Town, with Layne Eadie and Junior Dadson on the scoresheet for the home side.

It was Harlow’s first league match for three weeks, and despite being an underwhelming match for most of the afternoon, Harlow never looked in danger of losing.

Layne Eadie put the hosts ahead on the half hour, with a lob over Will Viner in the Dereham net. Both ‘keepers were forced into saves, but with most of the game spent in the midfield, neither side could gain any momentum. Junior Dadson then crushed any hopes of a Dereham fight-back with a second in the dying minutes of the game.

Harlow have now risen to ninth in the league, four points off the play off places but with a number of games in hand.

ATTENDANCE: 260
