17.2.18 – Representative Match

Barking & Dagenham 1-7 Havering 

BARKING & DAGENHAM B TEAM suffered a heavy defeat against a talented

Defeated

Havering side in their latest Representative fixture. Despite matching their opponents for the first half, Tolu Fabamifobee’s solitary strike was all they had to show for their efforts. 

 
Havering started brightly and took an early lead and doubled it soon after. The home side, however, slowly grew into the game and reduced the arrears when Fabamifobee fired home his sixth of the season. 
Barking & Dagenham almost drew level before the break but Fabamifobee was denied a further goal from a smart reaction by the Havering keeper. 
 
Havering increased their lead early in the second period and took the game away from Barking & Dagenham with three more goals as they swarmed all over the home side. 
Barking & Dagenham, to their credit, battled on but were unable to add to their tally and a seventh goal, late in the piece, saw the visitors run out convincing winners. 
 
The score-line was a little harsh on Barking & Dagenham, who had more than held their own in the first half and they will now be looking to bounce back when they entertain Orpington on Saturday at May Bakers.
