Jersey Bulls help enable a double game daty

Saturday 4 January 2020 - Cove 0 Jersey Bulls 1 - Combined Counties, Division One, Squirrel Lane then Hartley Wintney 2 Wimborne Town 2 - Southern League, Premier South, Memorial Fields





Expect we may have a further season and half of large crowds for Jersey away games as hoppers take the opportunity to get two games in a day - With clubs arranging lunchtime kick offs, so Jersey can get to and back the same day, think next big opportunity will be game v Fleet Spurs as many options for second game in area.



 Programmes sold out over an hour before the game so hope other clubs print more in future, however Cove ran the day well with good stewarding of the car park and pleased they would have made some good money on the day. Jersey dominated but over elaborating meant just one goal - think as season goes on the pressure to not lose a game will become a bag factor in their displays.






 Then it was 15 minute drive to Hartley Wintney




Wimborne played on the break and with the aid of the noticeable slope went in at the break two up, almost made a mess of the first one by missing an open goal in the build up, second was a penalty after the keeper took out the centre forward, keeper always under pressure at Hartley played such a high back line.


 Second half and now playing with the slope, Hartley got back on terms, but were still getting caught on the break and Wimborne will feel they dropped two pints.




 Ground very neat, plenty of space and greenery, clubhouse slightly raised so good view from the cover outside the clubhouse the seated stands on other side was also well occupied with one terrace behind one of the goals also having cover.
