Hampshire Harriers mid season review:

The first half of the season has been a good combination of good showing that is close. The Harriers are doing well, but they realize they have to do better going forward to get further up the track. And with a handful of key games in the pipeline, the second half of the season will be the deciding factor in whether they can convert effort into yet another win.

On the sidelines, the club is readying for changes. After ten seasons at Oasis Academy, the Hampshire Harriers will shift to Apple More Health and Leisure in Dibden to play games as funding for the team increases and costs climb.

The squad remains focused on performance despite difficulties they may face on the court or off it. “We’ve played really well, even in the matches we lost this season,” said club representative David Morgan. “We have produced good numbers and we have that to give us hope. Some days, we’ve just been getting close (tied up) and things haven’t gone our way. We also will be moving to Apple More Health and Leisure in Dibden, which we will have to get used to. The biggest thing is that we keep our heads, we stay together, and we go through it as a team. If we work hard and remain unified the results will come.”

The venue at Oasis Academy has been a significant contributor to the Harriers’ growth over the last 10 years. It’s also given them stability and a good local presence. While this is the close of a lengthy chapter the club will continue its quest for further progression and play both on and off the playing floor.

The Harriers expect a good run into the next half of the season as they near critical moments. As that stage of the season comes in, they want the season to continue on well. And whatever obstacles lie in the way they just want to end their fight and finish up the campaign well powered through.
