The OHAFC 3rd XI's hopes of adding Cup success to their promotion push from Division Five were ended in comprehensive fashion on Saturday when the Old Johnians proved far too strong on the astroturf in Hampton in the semi-finals of the David Woolcott Trophy.

The Division Four leaders, who hadn't tasted defeat in League or Cup since November, never looked in danger of seeing that run ended and finished the afternoon with a 6-1 win - the first time since the opening day of the season the Blues have conceded six and only their third defeat of the season in all competitions.

Alex Smith scored Harrow's goal in the last minute, barely registering on the 'consolation goal' scale.

Despite the defeat, Nick Kapoor's men still have plenty to play for, with two League games remaining and one point required to clinch the Division Five South table.
