OHAFC Advent Calendar: December 15th

15 Dec 2014

Another photo taken ten years ago, this time in February of 2004 at the official opening of the School's new astroturf facility.

The OHAFC had raised a significant amount of the total funding required for the project and have enjoyed good use of the pitch over the past decade, although opinion is still divided on just what difference playing on an artificial pitch makes to a side's performance.

A friendly match was arranged to celebrate the opening of the astroturf, an event attended by headmaster Barnaby Lennon, Harrow Development Director Doug Collins and a number of past Harrow beaks, including former Premier League and FIFA referee David Elleray.
