Harborough Town U21s remain perfect as remarkable 100-goal winning streak continues
Harborough Town’s Under-21 squad made it a remarkable 25 wins out of 25 under head coach Josh Unsworth with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Thrapston Venturas last Saturday.
The Bees’ youth squad went into half-time level at 0-0 but eventually capitalised on their dominance in possessio against a well-organised Thrapston team, breaking the deadlock on 63 minutes.
Archie O’Donnell was the goalscoring hero for 1-0 as he collected the ball from around 30 yards before pulling the trigger on a powerful strike into the bottom corner.
O’Donnell doubled his and Harborough’s tally in the 80th minute, keeping level-headed after latching onto a defence-splitting through pass from Chulu Johnson.
Thrapston opened up towards the end as they searched for a way back into the game, ultimately allowing the Young Bees to find another goal of their own.
Gui Rodrigues netted Harborough’s third, racing through on goal and finishing coolly after a 40-yard diagonal pass from Corey Birch.
Young Bees boss Unsworth was thrilled with his side’s performance, continuing a perfect start of the season and making it 12 points out of 12 in the Northants Combination League Premier Division.
“I was so impressed with the lads, it was a proper shift and they found ways to wear Thrapston down,” Unsworth said.
“I’m really pleased for Ollie Price, who started and played incredibly well. I’m also pleased for Gui, coming into the U21s for the first time this season and scoring too.”
This promising start to 2026/27 is the next chapter for Harborough Under-21s after a league-cup double last term.
It’s now 25 wins in a row and more than 100 goals since their last defeat.
