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:

  • 8/4/17 1-1 Away, Goal by Dan Bone
  • 3/9/16 2-1 at Home, both goals by Jamil Olweny
  • 12/3/16 3-0 at Home, Goals by Jamil Olweny, Sam Knowles & Jacob Exton
  • 3/10/15 2-2 Away, Goals by Sam Knowles & a.n. other.

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.
