HARTLEY Wintney continued with their pre-season friendly schedule with a trip to local National League side Farnborough. 

The first half was subdued but the second period started with the Row on the front foot. On 57 minutes Charlie Postance opened the scoring and nine minutes later young striker Sam Bartlett added a second for the Row.

The Boro finished strongly and two quick fire goals from Miller Matthews-Lewis brought them level with 10 minutes remaining. On 83 minutes a quick break from Hartley saw Bartlett add his second goal when he rounded Boro keeper Jack Turner to shoot into an empty net.

In added time Farnborough squared things up with a fine strike from the edge of the area from Ricky Holmes.  Final score: 3-3.

Speaking after the match, co-manager John Cook said: "I was pleased with the performance today and of course with the result.

"During the build up to the season we have been setting each of the players objectives as we see them.

"I am pleased with young Sam Bartlett in the way he took his goals. Also pleased with the performance of the players thus far."

He continued: "We are starting to bond as a team and thoroughly enjoying things so far. We hope to have an interesting and enjoyable season with the team, supporters and the club.

"We are pleased that we have our entire squad already signed on at an early stage." 

Last Tuesday the Row travelled to Fleet Town to play for the annual Hammond-Moggach Shield.

Reece Wylie gave the Row the lead just after half time before blotting his copy book by receiving a red card. Fleet equalised before Bartlett netted the winner in added time. Full time Fleet Town 1 and Hartley Wintney 2. 

The previous Saturday Hartley travelled to Burgess Hill and recorded a 1-0 win.

On Tuesday night Hartley, Wintney are at home to Bracknell Town from the Southern League Premier South (kick off 7.30pm) and on Saturday next a home match against Tadley Calleva (3pm).
