Fleet Spurs 2 Cowes Sports 1 (Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Division 1)
This was another cliff-hanger for Spurs as they came back from the dead with two late goals after a dramatic afternoon at Southwood.
Cowes started off much the stronger and took the lead after five minutes when their top scorer Dominic Burbidge fired home from close range after hesitancy in the Fleet defence. Although both teams had their moments, the visitors remained overall on top until the break, closing Spurs down quickly and looking dangerous whenever they attacked.

Spurs are becoming draw specialists with their third in successive games. This time they got out of jail with two late goals after all appeared lost.
The first half was remarkably dull. There’s nothing more worth saying about it.
As many of you will know, Eric Heanes’ partner Joan died a fortnight ago. Joan had cared magnificently for Eric for more than ten years and will be greatly missed.
Joan’s funeral will be held at St Matthew’s Church, Blackmoor near Bordon at 3 pm on Tuesday 7 February. Eric would, I know, be very touched if as many as possible Fleet Spurs players, officials and supporters could be there. The church’s post code is GU33 6BN.
For further details, please phone Paul Hampshire (07850 810133), Kierin Gurrie (07831 200603) or me (01252 628345).

Fleet Spurs 1 Tadley Calleva 0 (Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Division 1)
Experts say that at the highest level, there’s a magic about evening games that transcends anything seen in daylight. Experience shows that this axiom doesn’t apply at Wessex League level, and tonight’s game was no exception. After a promising start, the game got worse as the evening got colder, and both sets of supporters were glad to get back to the warmth of home. Spurs’ fans were the happier as they had gained the three points that they deserved on the day.
