It’s good to be back, although unusually, having spent the best part of the last fortnight in Denmark I’ve probably seen more football than you have. In my first week out there me and a pal managed to wangle…
What a difference a week makes! Ten days back even the ever-zestful Dave Draper could find no better summary of our trip to Petersfield than “the definite low-point of the season”, but on Saturday the good times were back…
Well here’s a bit of a novelty then – Saturday afternoon football at Westwood! It seems like forever since our last outing here, the thoroughly entertaining (and probably fair outcome) 2-2 draw with Fareham back on 6th January.

Art’noon all. Didn’t make it to Alresford last week but I have to say how impressive our performance was against Blackfield a week and a half back – if we could perform like that every week we’d be a…
Evening! And welcome to the latest in our apparently never-ending run of (nearly all) home matches. Apparently we’re actually going to be away on Saturday, although I’m yet to be convinced the fixture won’t be reversed.
Strange game Saturday wasn’t…
