Stefan Powell replaced Reece Mitchell at half time for Harrow with Purrington making an early strong run forward for Parkway only to overhit his final ball.

Parkway started the half well with Rio Garside and Crago linking well along the left with Crago shooting just wide on 49 minutes. On 51 minutes Walters broke clear along the left with Parkes saving comfortably as Harrow began to force the pace of the game playing at a higher tempo than they had in the first half. On 54 minutes they spurned a good chance to draw level with Walters completely miskicking when well placed.

Parkway were forced into a substitution on 56 minutes with Cairo replacing Hall who had taken the full force of the ball in his face from close range and was assisted from the field looking decidedly groggy. The game now became more even with Harrow having a good spell and beginning to control the midfield area but it was Parkway who created the next chance on 59 minutes after good work between Williams and Thomson set up White who shot just wide.

Walters continued to look the most likely outlet for Harrow and on the hour he went clear along the left only to fire wildly over. Parkway made their 2nd change on the hour with Thomson being replaced by Wilson which saw a subsequent change in their shape. Harrow also made a change with Excellence Muhemba replacing Reece Cameron.

The game continued to be evenly contested with neither side able break each other down with Parkway now looking to go more direct enabling the Harrow defence to deal more comfortably with a series of long balls into the channels with Crago becoming isolated and lacking support up front.

Dylan Jones replaced the tireless Crago on 72 minutes as the game went through a scrappy phase with few chances being created and defences remaining in control.

Harrow made their final change on 76 minutes with Jaden Sharman replacing Walters who appeared to have taken a knock. With the game opening up in the final stages a Parkway free kick on the left was headed clear to Purrington whose shot was blocked and cleared.

On 81 minutes another mesmerising run by Williams into the 18 yard area set up Garside whose shot was blocked. On 83 minutes the hosts grabbed a lifeline and drew level after the strong running substitute Muhemba went clear along the right crossing low into the 6 yard area with Talla converting from close range. Parkway responded with Jones doing well to force a corner on the left which was cleared for a second corner which also came to nothing with the Harrow defence holding firm. The game turned on it’s head on 88 minutes with Harrow taking the lead with their second goal almost a carbon copy of their first. Muhemba again went clear along the right and crossing low into the danger area with this time Mack Miskin getting the vital touch.

Parkway almost equalised from the restart with Jones racing clear along the right and from a tight angle rolling the ball agonisingly across the 6 yard area with no one on hand to get a final touch.

With 6 minutes of added time Parkway pushed hard for an equaliser with White shooting just wide after a period of sustained pressure followed by Williams seeing his shot blocked after another penetrating run forward. In the 93rd minute Lane and Williams combined with the latter’s shot well saved by Tobin and with time running out Harrow managed to hold out to clinch the win.

After being the better and dominant side in the first half creating the clearer chances, Parkway only held a slender 1-0 lead mainly as a result of good goalkeeping and solid defending. The second half was a more even affair with the hosts more threatening and catching Parkway on the break twice in the final 10 minutes to grab an unlikely victory which leaves Parkway in the bottom 4.

Parkway now return to Bolitho Park on Tuesday to face Dorchester Town who beat Didcot Town 3-1 today. Parkway have already beaten Dorchester 2-0 in the FA Cup earlier this month but the visitors have made some significant signings since then and will almost certainly provide a tougher challenge this time round.
