Programme Notes v Fleet Town

On the positive side it was great to see Sweens complete a first 90 minutes after his summer surgery and Adam Martin enter the fray late on following his full recovery from summer surgery as well.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Holloways Park for today's Evostik Division One Central League encounter against Fllet town FC and I trust their management, players and officials enjoy their brief stay with us this afternoon.

We disappointingly lost our unbeaten record this season here at Holloways Park on Tuesday against local rivals Burnham FC and the boys will be looking to bounce straight back from that I'm sure. We were caught cold with the start and guilty of gifting them two goals with basic errors in a game that I thought we deserved something from otherwise.

Our injury list lengthens, with the injury to Smithy and there will be additions necessary and in place by the time you read these notes for sure. On the positive side it was great to see Sweens complete a first 90 minutes after his summer surgery and Adam Martin enter the fray late on following his full recovery from summer surgery as well.

We have wo tough games over this bank holiday period, starting today with Fleet who moved across from the Ryman set up during the summer and then another local derby at Marlow on Monday. We will take stock of our situation after that point and turn our attentions to an FA Cup adventure against Binfield FC on the following Sunday which will provide a welcome distraction from a hectic league start I'm sure.

Thank You for your support this past week and let's continue to maintain that optimism we all hold at this current stage of proceedings. May is a long way off and the point at which this season should be judged.
