Spurs first team did not play.  Their arranged game at AFC Portchester was postponed because in the opinion of the match referee, the goalposts did not meet the requirements necessary for the game to start.

Spurs Reserves had a hard-fought 2-1 win over Hale Rovers in the Aldershot League Senior Division.  The visitors scored first, but Spurs were ahead by the break with goals by Martin Ball and Ross Blowers.  Although Hale had a number of good chances to equalise or even win, they spurned them all and there was no further scoring.

The A team gained their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw at Southwood against Headley United Reserves in Division 1.  David Love scored Spurs’ goal.

The Vets had a very comfortable 5-0 victory against Inter Mytchett Crusaders in Division 3.  Hot-shot Mark Gardiner notched four and would have had a nap hand had player-manager Roy Allaway not tapped the ball in from about 6 inches – reminiscent of David Nugent’s sole England goal.

Spurs first team entertain Andover New Street in a Wessex League Division 1 game at Southwood (kick-off 3.00).
