The Hine brothers (Ned and Louis) were dominant for Wellington and had ensured that their team were 4-2 up at half-time. Hugo Taylor, Harrow’s impressive two-goal player who has played high-goal, worked hard to bring Harrow back into contention in the second half, successfully converting two penalties. He was well supported by Michael Fitzgibbon throughout the match but could
