Potton United were well-beaten at Harringey.

Against a Haringey Borough side that was looking to gain promotion Potton suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat in which proved to be a one sided affair.

Ibie had a shot that was saved by Alex Desmond and at the other end Jack Moriarty intercepted a pass but his weak shot was easily saved by the keeper. Ibie, was a tall centre forward and was very quick, was allowed to run but he shot well over. A centre from Alves was collected by Desmond who cleared to Crowter who forced a corner. From this a header from Holmes was deflected for another corner which was cleared. Ibie played the ball through to Alves and Desmond saved at his feet. In the 21st minute a ball was played through to Ibie who calmly lobbed over the advancing Desmond to open the scoring. Haringey had the ball in the net again but was ruled offside. Eddie Connolly had a run before passing to Mamadou Diallo who shot wide. Young passed to Ibie who shot over the bar. Just before the interval Young again passed to Ibie to score his and Haringey’s second goal.

In the 52nd minute Ibie completed his hatrick by converting a cross into the net. Jack Moriarty and Eri Akintimehin combined well to force a corner from which Matt Gilbert shot wide. Soon afterwards captain Matt Gilbert had to leave the field injured. In the 63rd minute Potton gave the ball away and Hippolyte scored goal number four that went in off the post. From a Haringey corner the ball finished up in the net but the referee had blown for an infringement. A brief spell of Potton pressure saw Akintimehin shoot wide and Jack Moriart shoot over the bar. A good passing movement by Haringey ended with Akintimehin seeing his shot blocked and Connolly having a run with the ball before shooting narrowly wide.

Potton United: Alex Desmond, Myles Jackson (Josh Brown), Matt Gilbert (Nileley Rusev)), Elliott Powell, Cameron Watson, Ben Holmes, Reece Crowter (Eri Akintimehin), Mamadou Diallo (Harvey Vegh), Freddie Moriarty (Dan Wappett),Jack Moriarty, Eddie Connolly
