Hatchwell denies Harefield at the death

London Lions claimed a point in injury time thanks to the sweetest of equalisers from Harry Hatchwell as the search for a first three points of the season continues.

SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS LEAGUE DIVISION ONE

LONDON LIONS 1 HAREFIELD UNITED 1

Playing four days after a 1-0 league defeat at Broadfield United, the home team were shorn of a number of starting performers. Andy Landesberg's men have put in some decent displays while not yet finding the win to kickstart the league season.

They were again given a numerical advantage in an otherwise even tie when a Harefield player was given a straight red for a tackle on Jack Mattey.

For the second time this season, however, Lions conceded to ten men when Harefield opened the score when a corner flew in off Ollie Craig knee for an own goal.

Both teams saw defences on top for large spells, and only Austin Lipman went close with a shot from range.

It looked like the day would end in a disappointing defeat until up stepped Hatchwell. In only his second sub appearance since the 2017 Maccabiah Games final and following a full year out with injury he dramatically found the equaliser in the 96th minute to earn a valuable point for Lions.

LIONS: David Myers, Sam Hamerton, Ollie Craig, Adam Harvey, Nathan Schindler, Jamie Jackson, Jake Furman, Adam Lipman, Adam Bolle, Austin Lipman, Jack Mattey. Subs: Christian Edwards, 

SCORER: Hatchwell
