Fresh from an eventful FA Vase game away to Tuffley Rover, Fleet Spurs welcome early season high flyers Newport from the Isle of Wight for this Wessex League Division 1 fixture.

Newport (The Port) have started the season well with 7 wins in 9 league games and sit 2nd in the league table with 21 points. They are the division’s top goal scorers with 31 goals (average 3.4 goals per game) but have the worst goals conceded in the top 7 clubs, leaking 17 goals (just under 2 goals per game).

Top scorer for the Isle of Wight team is Jordon Browne, who has scored 9 goals in 11 games, followed by Joe Butcher with 8 goals in10 games.

Our visitors current form guide is:

  • 25/9/21 - Millbrook 5 - 2 Newport IOW
  • 21/9/21 - Blackfield & Langley 2 - 0 Newport IOW (Hampshire Senior Cup)
  • 14/9/21 - Horndean 5 - 0 Newport IOW (Wessex League Cup)
  • 11/9/21 - Newport IOW 1-0 New Milton Town

Spurs have not encountered The Port in the league in recent times but we suffered a home 1-2 loss to them on 21/8/18 in the Hampshire FA Cup & again on 9/9/17 a 5-2 (Sam Knowles Penalty & Tom Chillery) away loss in the FA Vase when Newport were in the Wessex Premier Division.

Having not won in 3 games The Ports will probably be looking to not lose further ground to their title rivals and Spurs will be keen to build on their improving performances and Captain Tom White finding his scoring boots, which could result in a fast moving entertaining game.
