HarlösaGround: Harlösa Idrottsplats Visits: 1 Date: 19th June 2024 Match: Harlösa - Wä 1-3 (Division 5 Skåne Östra) Attendance: 60 The week before midsummer normally means plenty of midweek fixtures and that was the case this year as well. Harlösa IF were promoted, via the play-offs, to division 5 at the end of last season and when I noticed they were hosting Wä IF on Wednesday evening I decided to go to Harlösa IP. Wä are from just outside Kristianstad and have one of my (now ex)-pupils in their team. It took me around 50 minutes to reach Harlösa IP and despite the temperature being 18-19 °C it felt a bit chilly in the strong wind. As the visitors entered the pitch for their warm-up I spoke to my ex-pupil who was a bit surprised to see me. He also explained that Wä were missing a few players and expected a tough game. Harlösa lost their last game 7-0 and with Wä pushing for a top three spot I was expecting Wä to win quite easily. Wä clearly had a younger team but it was Harlösa who scored the first goal of the evening, 1-0 from the penalty spot. Harlösa then scored an own-goal, a header via the crossbar, and at half-time it was 1-1. In the 2nd half the difference in age and fitness really started to show and two quick goals made it 1-3. Wä had several chances to score more goals but somehow missed them all. No more goals and Wä´s last game before the summer break ended with a 3-1 victory meaning they are now 3rd in the table. For me the visit to Harlösa IP means I have now completed Division 5 Skåne Östra and I will now have a break from live football until Friday next week. ![]() Welcome to Harlösa IP East side Dug-out South End West side Players on their way Kick-off East side Penalty, Harlösa (scored) West side View of play West side West side Clubhouse North End View of play |
