How great have the last two games been?!! Firstly a terrific performance and result against Truro City, then a fantastic game away at Salisbury! Having supporters and fans at football matches is a must in my eyes, football without supporters just isn’t the same. You cant beat the atmosphere and what it does for a game of football, it helps create the story of the game and gives players a massive lift. The fans were amazing at Salisbury and in great voice, we hope that continues today, just remember ‘We’re a Family Club!’ Poole Town FC v Hendon FC | 3 Chris Reeves Chris Talks www.POOLETOWNFC.CO.UK Chris Reeves Chairman If all that are reading this are anything like me then each matchday just cannot come round quick enough at present. What a fantastic start to the season we have been privileged to enjoy. The “new” squad that Tom has put together has gelled very quickly and overnight it seems that the spirit and togetherness that has been a major feature of the sides that Tom has put together during his 16/17 years at the helm has yet again been reproduced in the current crop of players. Quite apart from a highly impressive set of results against good quality opposition the standard of play and the standard of the entertainment factor has been just about as good as it gets at our level of the game which is of course the highest standard Poole Town FC v Hendon FC | 4 The Chairman that spectators can access.

Hendon were finishing the season strongly when it was ended due to COVID and seem to have retained most of their players over the extended close season. They will have ambitions like us of fighting to get into the play off places at least, so will be strong opposition. Coming into todays match we have had two more positive results. Firstly, we beat Truro at home last Tuesday. This was a brilliant performance and result against one of the if not the strongest team in the division. I felt it was a great game to watch and we showed that we can compete players mixed with a clutch of younger players against anyone if we apply ourselves properly. and I feel the balance is good. They have a real determination to do well and fight to win every Last Saturday against Salisbury we were hugely game. I am not getting carried away as I know impressive in the first half and were deservedly it is very early and we are dwarfed in terms of two goals in front. The second half was more financial resources by many teams, but I am difficult for us and we were under pressure for quietly confident we can do well if our current long periods.
