Match Preview

League Game 24 is a home fixture against 15th place Fawley AFC (aka The Oilers).

In the reverse fixture on 9 October 2021 Fawley took the 3 points with a 4-2 win - Spurs goal scorers on the day were Ethan Yewins (a clever free kick) and Jack Wilson (a shot from outside the box).

The Oilers have had an on/off season so far with 5 wins and 5 draws earned from their 23 league games this season, their last 3 league result were:

• 15/1/22 - Home Loss to Andover Town 1-2
• 3/1/22 - Away Win at East Cowes Victoria 0-2
• 18/12/22 - Away Draw with Millbrook 1-1

Dylan Knight has been the main man when it comes to scoring goals with12 goals in 19 league games, over 33% of the Oilers’ league goals.

Our visitors sit just 4 points off the bottom 3 in the league and will probably be looking to use this game to put some extra distance between themselves and 18th place Infinity (who haven’t a fixture this weekend).

Spurs will also be looking to gain points in this game to start their recovery and move up the table, a minimum of a point gained in this game could see Fleet move off the bottom of the league table for the first time this season.

Two regular Spurs players should be back after serving a one match ban each from the recent Ash United game, plus Captain and top scorer Tom White should also be available for selection.

With the end of the season just 15 games away, we keep an eye on our nearest rivals’ games in the challenge to escape the bottom 3:

• 19th - Totton and Eling (played 24 for 13 points) are away to Ringwood Town (16th)
• 18th - Infinity (played 23 for 16 points) - No Game
• 17th - East Cowes Victoria (played 23 for 18 points) are at home to New Milton Town (11th)
• 16th - Ringwood Town (played 25 for 19 points) away at Totton and Eling

It’s worth noting that Fleet Spurs will play all the above sides before the end of the season - exciting games coming up at Kennels Lane.
