(Aldershot League Division 1)

In a traditionally poor start to the season, Fleet Spurs A went down 3-2 to Eversley A at Southwood.  A sloppy first half performance saw Fleet go in at half time 2-1 down, with David Love scoring an exquisite chip into the top right corner for Fleet.  A rousing half-time team talk from stand-in gaffer Winno inspired Fleet to make a battling start to the second half, which unsettled Eversley – Russ Hammond scoring a scrambled equaliser after confusion amongst the Eversley defence. Eversley grabbed a late winner, the Fleet defence giving their forward time to turn on the edge of the box, do the fandango and slowly roll the ball into the corner of the net.

Despite the result though, the second half performance gives Fleet plenty of hope for the season ahead
