After a jam-packed weekend of action on our first week ground hopping we carried on our venture through the leagues with a match between Yeovil and Eastleigh. Yeovil had been the destination for Harry’s for hundreds of times over the past 13-14 years and most of it was successful until the last 6 seasons.
However a well fought 1-0 victory other the fellow play off contenders came as a great relief. More relief came when we realised Courtney Duffus was the man to slot home, as he became a new man for our alphabet scorers. It was the only goal in the game as we move on to the weekend.
It would be the first time we’d have spent the weekend apart since we started, and we both got our fair share of entertainment. First up, Harry visited Fratton Park for Portsmouth’s visit of Tranmere. If you had read the article about the trip down South then you’d know that Pompey midfielder Ben Close scored a wonder goal with Tom Naylor also notching, in scruffier fashion.
Luke headed off to the capital to watch his favourite team, Tottenham. It was a big day for him as it would be the first time visiting the magnificent ground since its rebuilding and boy did he have reason to celebrate.
After an early shock goal from John McGinn rocked the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, new record signing Tanguy N’dombele equalised for Spurs with only around 15 minutes to go. However, Spurs synonymously don’t go down without a fight and a player who won’t give up until the final whistle is Harry Kane.
Arguably the best striker in the league or even the world, struck twice late on to give Tottenham and Luke that winning feeling once again after their Champions League Final defeat at the end of last season.
This means Luke squeezes one letter ahead of Harry as he picked up three new letters to Harry’s two. It may change next week as Harry’s heads to the South coast once again to watch Southampton face Liverpool and Luke is playing football so will not be able to add to his tally.
