The young Hares went 1-0 up in the First half when Ronan Hitchins hit the crossbar from outside the box and Manuel Clubortaru was quickest to react to the rebound to score. Ickenham replied 10 mins later with a header from a corner to make it 1-1 before half time
Second half Harefield had a lot of the ball but could not find a way past a very good Ickenham defence and their GK. Ickenham broke twice in within 10 mins after Harefield tried to press too hard and left themselves open at the back to go 3-1 down. The young Hares showed great spirit to come back from 3-1 down with another Manuel Clubortaru goal which made it 3-2 then 5 mins later Max Wyld put in a great ball behind the defence to allow Ronan to lift the ball over the keeper to make in 3-3. With time running out and both teams trying to win the game Max Wyld popped up 25 yards out and hit a great shot into the top corner of the goal leaving the Ickenham GK no chance and making it 4-3 to the young Hares
