Richard Pacquette on the bench of late?

Yes, what do you make of that, maybe Richard's days at the Club are numbered as this is his third season at Preston Park, he's 38 years old in January and may feel like a new challenge at yet another Club before he finally hangs up his boots:

Losing Harry McCorkell has been devastating certainly, but not sure there are 11 out who would ordinarily start. Not sure either about the wisdom of starting Mallett instead of Ballheimer between the sticks, Putnam's second was a shocking goal to concede all round, not least as he shot from an acute angle low into the near post and the keeper was virtually on the near post but still let it in! 

Pacman gees up the troops and leads from the front, enjoy watching such a wily campaigner and was sorry he didn't feature, think a recent red card may explain why he was on the bench, and at 6 down why risk him getting another when it was getting a bit naughty (Hares a bit lucky to finish with 11, frustration got to a couple).

Farhall normally has plenty to say for himself, mainly to his team mates (not often complimentary), funny how quiet he was last night. In fact a feature of watching Harefield is how much they argue amongst themselves, and while understandable in the circumstances it was fairly muted compared with many a time at Preston Park. Still think Steven Green is a cracking player, but even he had a very quiet game by his standards.

I hope the Hares get back on track soon, many more performances like that though and they'll be locked in a relegation battle.

Interestingly I had heard that Winslow were interested in him in the summer.

Still think he has plenty to offer on and off the pitch at Step 5 level for a couple more seasons.

6 goals in 11 games this season ?

17 goals last season and 21 goals for the invincibles the season before that.

Nothing to do with form. When fit he is one of the first names on the team sheet.

Both Harefield United's First team and Reserve team were all dressed up with nowhere to go this afternoon as their fixtures at Preston Park against Arlesey Town and at Ware Sports respectively were called off due to waterlooged pitches. The Reserve side try again next Saturday (7 November) when they entertain Belstone in a Herts Senior County League Premier Division fixture having lost their last two League outings, 3-1 to today's scheduled opponents Ware Sports at Preston Park and 3-0 at Chipperfield Corinthians last Saturday however there was a positive 6-3 Aubrey Cup First Round home win over Second Division Baldock Town Reserves last Wednesday evening with goals from Gary Burrell, Petrit Krasniqi, Archie Oaks, Zak Jackson and a brace from Ross Shorto, they will now travel to Chipperfield Corinthians in the Second Round. Meanwhile the First team entertain North Greenford United on Tuesday (3 November), weather permitting, followed by a visit to Hitchin Road to take on Baldock Town next Saturday, boss Jason Shaw will be hoping to stop the rot of successive 5-2 and 6-0 League defeats.

The Harefield United team sheet and match programme from Tuesday evening's fiixture with North Greenford United resulting in a 2-1 win with goals from, who else, Richard Pacquette after only three minutes and Thomas Payne in the dying embers of the game after North Greenford United had equalised on 80 minutes. Saturday's (7 November) scheduled visit to Baldock Town and the Reserves Herts Senior County League Premier Division fixture with Belstone at Preston Park are postponed as there is now unfortunately an enforced 'lay off' until Saturday 5 December due to the Covid-19 lockdown when Jason Shaw's men will hopefully, and coincidentally, be travelling to North Greenford United:

An interesting programme from 1986/87 when Harefield United were an Isthmian League Division Two South Club, having just made the switch from Division Two North where they were the season before. Having beaten Corinthian Casuals 3-0 at Preston Park in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round they drew 2-2 with mighty Southern League Premier Division Aylesbury United in a thriller at Preston Park having trailed 2-0 at the interval, losing the replay at Buckingham Road 2-0 with 903 in attendance, Cliff Hercules scored both goals for The Ducks. The sides had also met in a 1983/84 Preliminary Round tie at Buckingham Road where Aylesbury United also won 2-0, Harefield United were then in the Athenian League, the season before moving to the Isthmian League Division Two North due to the Athenian League sadly disbanding having been in existence since 1912/13:

Perhaps Jack Gealish and co. were looking at Carolyn Radford in the crowd, the Mansfield Town Chairman's wife. I'm not really in favour of Club's getting involved in this type of thing and it can often end in tears and acrimony:
