Match Preview

We welcome fellow Division 1 side East Cowes Victoria to Kennels Lane for a Round 2 Wessex League Cup fixture.

First - a reminder that the kick-off is 2pm.

Second - we are at home home, i.e.Kennels Lane, which is nice.

In the previous round The Vic' progressed with a 4-0 win against Premier Division side Alton, no mean feat.

Spurs are in the 2nd round thanks to a 7 minute goal scored by Ryan Goddard, which turned out to be the only goal of the game away at Ash United.

The winners of this game play Folland Sports in round 3.

Our previous encounter with the Isle of Wight side was in an away league match on 28/8/21, which resulted in The Vic collecting all 3 points with a 5-0 win. Hard lessons learnt that day.

Our visitors currently sit 15th in Wessex League Division 1 with 2 wins & 4 drawn games so far this season; their recent form is 1 draw in 3 games.

Both teams will probably be looking to shake off current league form and use this cup game to kickstart a winning run in the league.

Look for commitment, desire, enthusiasm, skill, goals & entertainment on display in this game.

See you there, remember it's an early kickoff of 2pm.
