Sat. 07.12.19 - Millwall I [19] v [13] Harwich (A)

Millwall tries: H. Barrett, B. Lavelle x 2

“Not our best performance of the year, and some key areas to work on going forwards, but we got the job done. A win from our longest away trip of the season and another 4 points on the board. On to a huge fixture against Dagenham.” - Andre Louw – Head Coach

Harwich capitalise on poor Millwall discipline in their own half, kicking over the first points of the game after just 3 minutes. 5 minutes later, Harwich turns over Millwall playing too close to their own try line and, following the resulting pressure, dot down to go up 8-0. 

With just 5 minutes remaining and down 13-5, Millwall winger Ben Lavelle finishes a length of the field effort after looking dangerous since coming on at half time. 

Millwall 10 Sam David steps up to kick a penalty with time over and being just 1 point down… and narrowly misses left. However, Millwall manages to recover the ball after a turnover and put Lavelle in the corner again to win the game on the final play.

Millwall I sit 3rd in Essex 1, still close behind 2nd placed Canvey Island.
