Fleet Spurs First Team take to the water this Saturday with a ferry trip to the Isle of Wight for a Wessex League Division 1 fixture against East Cowes Victoria AFC (The Vics).
The Vics currently sit 18th in Division 1 achieving 2 draws in their 3 games played so far this season: 1-1 Home to Ringwood; 4-4 Away at Fawley & and 0-2 Home to Infinity. The Vics also played Fawley in the Hampshire FA Cup on Tuesday 24/8/21. The game ended 1-1 but Cowes progressed to the next round with a 4-3 penalty shootout win.
One player to watch out for is Jimi Burton who has scored 3 (a hat-trick) of The Vics five league goals this season.
Last season The Vics ended up 15th in the ‘Covid curtailed’ season: Played 12, Won 2, Drawn 4 and in season 19/20: 17th, Played 25, Won 5 & Drawn 5.
Our previous results against East Cowes were:
The 3/10/15 game had the distinction of having 3 Chiilerys in the starting line up, James, Tom & Issac.
It's a long trip on a Bank Holiday weekend but Spurs will be looking to keep the improving performances going and continue the hunt for their first points of the season.
