Harwich were sound in defence and never looked in danger of defeat but in attack were not penetrative enough. with their best efforts coming from set pieces. The Barnston goalkeeper performed heroics and when it did seem that he would be beaten managed to block the ball with his body. With the league now reduced to 14 teams and the Shrimpers currently in 11th position, they will hope the 2 points that escaped them do not affect their final position.
