The club have been working tirelessly to ensure that football can continue this season at the same level. From the volunteers to the Board of Directors, everyone has been doing their part. It’s amazed me just how much goes on behind the scenes to ensure a game of football can take place. Some people say football is just a game, but to me it’s so much more. It brings people and communities together, creating an atmosphere for match days that is second to none. Enjoy the game! Poole Town FC v Hayes & Yeading Utd| 3 1. Cover 2.
