6 – 1! Charlie Rowe (sponsored by Mowlam Transport Ltd) opened up the scoring followed by Taylor Edmonds (also sponsored by Mowlam Transport Ltd). Taylor was not content with one and went on to score a hat trick! Haydon Scott (sponsored by Margaret Keegan) scored the fifth (bearing in mind Haydon played, and played very well, for the First Team in their loss to Baffins yesterday). Icing on the cake was supplied by Charlie Rowe with his second goal of the fixture. Team work/individual work was superb and I am sure the 50+ folks in attendance would agree. Congratulations to our Joint Team Managers; Andy Mallett and Garry Rowe. They go again this Wednesday but please note the fixture has been reversed and our U18s will be hosting Portland Panthers U18s at The Camp & Satherley Stadium. KO time to be confirmed.

Well done to our lads today – as a team and as individual players – kept their noses to the grindstone and applied themselves 100% as I am sure all 110 watching would agree. Nobody could knock their effort to the final whistle against a very experienced Alresford side – and that was with a number of first team players missing so a huge credit must go also to our young management team. As you would have seen already, Joel Hewitt picked up the match ball following his hat trick. And also picked up the Man of the Match Award from Match Sponsors; Irene and Bob King who were treated with a platter fit for a King or two kings and their friends! Thank you Lesley Whyton for serving up such a feast. Greg Borthwick (sponsored by Houghton’s Tiles) came on as a substitute following the break and within a minute of the second half whistle had scored to make it 3 – 1. That goal will remain in many people’s minds - I am sure – including some of The Magpies. We also thank our young mascots today; Brooke Houston, Cameron Edney and Blake Burr and our Commercial Manager, Vic Holland, for supplying their superb mementos of the day. The minute’s silence was held in respect of former player of The Blues, Colin Robertson and it was lovely to see the family at the ground. First Team are at home again on Tues in the 2nd Round of the Wessex League Cup v Romsey Town from the 1st Div who today beat Totton & Eling 3 – 1. Our Reserves are also home the following evening (1st Sept) when they will be hosting Poole Borough
