Editor’s Note www.POOLETOWNFC.CO.UK Goal of the Season? Those that were at the last home game v Gosport would have witnessed a fantastic goal by Tony Lee, in which to be truthful was not the greatest game in the world. We sometimes endure these types of games in the hope that these types of moments come around - It certainly did in this instance! A fantastic celebration as well, lifting the fans’ spirits as we start to watch football live from the stands once again. Let’s hope for an entertaining Cup tie this afternoon!

Up the Dolphins!

Poole Town FC v Willand Rovers | 12 The Manager - Tom Killick

Today we welcome all those connected to Willand Rovers for this FA Trophy tie. Willand seem to be an ambitious club with a good squad of players. They are in the league below us but can’t be underestimated. With the disappointing news that the league season will not resume until at least after the 16th December there is even more motivation to win today as it is our only opportunity of continuing to play matches at this time. We trained twice this week on Wednesday and Thursday and will be as ready as we can be physically and mentally.

The one benefit of the recent lockdown from a footballing sense is that we come into the game with no injury worries or suspensions. We also have available our two AFC Bournemouth loan players which is a real boost as they have already shown what great quality they have.

Today we also commemorate Will Spetch making 400 appearances. In terms of longevity, commitment, loyalty and what he has given to the club Will is my best ever signing. He is an exceptional player and It has been a privilege to be his manager. Most importantly from my point of view he is an exceptional person who I have watched develop not only as a player but as a man. He now has a lovely family of his own who are a credit to him. Thank you Bill Spetch from me and everyone at the club.

Enjoy the game To m

Poole Town FC v Willand Rovers | 35 Thank You to Konsileo !

A big thank you to James Winchester and Konsileo Insurance

James has followed Poole Town since he was 10 years old (nearly 25 years) and had been a volunteer at the club for the last 4 seasons (now his 5th).

James noticed that a number of the Hi Viz worn by Volunteers and Stewards at the games (including himself) were very worn and old looking, so decided to try and support the club by helping with funding towards a new set.

As such James suggested and organised a Sponsorship package by the company for some new jackets. Thank you James!
