Where does Mathew Bryant take Harvest from here?

Harvest totally dominated the Linconshire Premier League at their first attempt. Due to outside pressures the team never once managed a 11v11 training session.  ‘The majority of the players played futsal twice a week, and that was enough to give the team the edge’ MB.  The team almost never scored from a corner kick, had that been rectified with 11v11 coaching methods the 100+ goal difference would have been achieved.

Coach Kevin Bryant believes the table does not reflect the true ability of the squad. With 4 games left, Louth United withdraw the league, which took 6 points and a further +15 goals off Harvest.  Late fixture congestion and the subsequent injuries that go with such a situation caused some late defeats, but only after the Championship was won.

If the team says together 2010/11, then watch this space. The potential is for the team to get even better, they have had 2 brilliant seasons playing passing football, the players I have spoken to individually know that they and the team have not peaked; there is still room for improvement.

If Harvest does not stay together then a great group of players will be chasing long balls ‘down channels’ next season.
