Fleet Spurs made the long trip to Verwood hoping to exact revenge on a team that had beaten the Spurs twice last year, and the day did not start well, with heavy traffic all the way down the M3, meaning most of the players and management did not arrive until 2.35pm.
With vice captain Phill Boddy and Adam Kennedy unavailable, Neil Baker made a few changes from the team that beat Shaftesbury, bringing himself and Chris Payne into the starting line up.
Playing a new formation it took a while for the Spurs to get into the game, and Verwood took an early lead when their winger got in behind the defence and squared the ball for the Verwood striker to pass the ball into an open goal.
Verwood had another similar chance 15 minutes later, but Mark Appleby managed to smother the ball as the Verwood winger tried to take it round him.
Fleet were starting to play good football, and got back in the game, when Adam Crittenden went on a astonishing run, resulting in him beating around 6 players, and calmly slotting the ball over the Verwood keeper.
This soon became 2-1 when a long searching ball from George Short enabled Sam Knowles to get a jump on the Verwood keeper, to head home his 5th goal in 3 matches.
The second half started well for Spurs who were playing the better football, and had a good shout for a penalty turned down, when Ben Edwards was bundled over in the box.
Verwood got themselves back in the game, and had a 10 minute spell where they were on top, and only 2 fantastic saves from Mark Appleby kept the score at 2-1, the second one being a low one handed save from the Verwood skipper, where it looked a goal the moment it left his foot.
From the resulting corner, Appleby claimed the ball, and launched it up the field for Adam Crittenden to get in, and score another outrageous goal.
Three soon became four when good work rate by Sam Knowles who was excellent all day, enabled him to pass the ball to Chris Payne, who put in an excellent cross that Ben Edwards headed in to the top left hand corner.
Fleet Spurs managed to play the rest of the game out without being caused too many problems, although Mark Appleby was still called in to make another 2 good stops.
All in all it was a good 3 points for the Spurs who seem to have found their stride after losing the first game of the season.
