Here we go, we’re off to Verwood Town on Saturday 7 Aug. 2021; the start our Wessex Football League adventure.

Ex-Premier Division Verwood Town, aka The Potters, have been safely mid-table since returning to Division 1 in 2018: Season 2020/21 9th in 19 teams; 2019/20 12 in 19; 2018/19 8 in 21 & 2017/18 17 in 18. Last season their top scorer was Matt Vining, 8 goals in 15 games - Matt is shown as registered with The Potters for the upcoming season, one to watch out for…

In a previous Wessex FL life we played Verwood Town many times, mostly on the wrong end of the result: 10/12/11 The Potters recorded a home win1-0; 3/9/11 they won at Kennels Lane 1-3 (Spurs scorer Alex Pickering); a particularly unpleasant score on 29/1/11 of 2-7 at our home (Goals from Sam Knowles & Grant Nesbit) however, a resounding victory for Spurs was earned on 21/8/12 with a 1-4 win at Potterne Park (a brace from Adam Crittenden, with one each from Ben Edwards & Sam Knowles).

You’ll notice one of our current players appears on the scoresheet above, Sam Knowles. In season 2010/11 sharpshooter Sam won the Division 1 Golden Boot with 40 goals scored in 35 games! An excellent achievement, congratulations Sam & more of the same this season please.

Off we go then, new managers, new players (mostly) and a new desire to succeed.

Enjoy the season everyone.
