Mathew Bryant took a strong Harvest squad to Sheffield for a 3 team play off tournament with Middlesbrough Futsal and Sheffield & Hallam teams.  Both teams are experienced futsal teams playing in the FA Umbro National Futsal League.

Teams played a round robin format of 15 minute each way matches.

In their opening game Harvest was drawing with Middlesbrough 2-2 until a last minute unforced error cost them the game.

‘Boro then got thrashed by Sheffield & Hallam 8-0.

Harvest then pulled off a great 2-2 draw with Sheffield & Hallam.  From reports back, a superb performance against one of the top 3 futsal teams in the North of England.

The Harvest performance has to be measured against the fact that the opposition teams are clubs that train weekly to play futsal.  The Grimsby Monday Premier League is of a very high standard, confirmed by the Harvest performance. For Mathew Bryant and team Harvest it was an eye opener to play against organised clubs with set plays on a fast indoor wood surface in dehydrating conditions.
