Harlow Link Football Club

'Hertford and District Football League'
LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2006/7
After a traumatic end to the season the first team won through with a 5-1 last day victory at Hertford Heath.

Going 1-0 down after just 15mins Link needed to push for a winning margin of more than 3 goals. Neil Tillotson equalised before half time, where many chances went begging.The second half was one that no one at the club will forget in a hurry, driven on by the energy of club captain Shaun Shortland( 2 goals), Steve Gregory(1) and Ross Tupper(1), with the decisive 4th goal. Link finished the match with the 2 league winning goals, in the last 8 mins.

Harlow Link would like to express their gratitude to Hertford Heath FC who conducted themselves in impecable style. The day was always going to be frought for both sides but, the conduct of their players and supporters was exemplary. The comments made to all of us connected with the Link was very complimentary and gratefully received.
