Unfortunately we (Myself & Family) were not there to witness it! One of the few games we will miss this season and I was so pleased to hear how well the team played! - A contrast to the performance v Hendon where playing 10 men for 89.9ish minutes can be difficult to play against. Sometimes you have to win ugly, but a win is a win! - Incidentally, the sending off wasn’t the fastest ever, this record belongs to a Lee Todd who was playing for Cross Park Farm Celtic. He received his marching orders after 2 seconds for using naughty words as the referee blew the whistle loudly for the start of the game! Poole Town FC v Gosport Borough FC | 3 Chris Reeves Chris Talks www.POOLETOWNFC.CO.UK Chris Reeves Chairman You had to be there to really appreciate the quality of our play on Saturday at Yate. At times the lads were cutting through the home side at will. Make no mistake, Yate are no mugs-they will win more games at home than they lose that’s for sure. They have some talented youngsters and some real experience—a good mix but the way we dismissed the minor irritation of going a goal down so early was just clinical and a delight to watch. The offensive play was of course superb-how could it not have been when six goals are scored away from home! Corby Moore was at his scintillating best and Josh Carmichael sprayed passes around as he does so well and if that duo keep up their current goalscoring rate then we are in for one Poole Town FC v Gosport Borough FC | 4 The Chairman hell of a season! My personal man of the match After that we have a really tasty game in prospect award would go to Jake Smeeton. Smeets played when on the following Wednesday 4th November his first full 90 minutes of the season and was we travel to league leaders Tiverton—a real early outstanding. He covered every blade of grass season six pointer! Hopefully depending on how and produced just about the most perfect holding things go tonight we may even travel there as midfielder’s performance as you are ever likely to league leaders ourselves—we shall see! Next see.
