We are sadly mourning the loss of Melvin Finch who passed away at the age of 65 on weds 12th January . Melvin has been an important part at Romsey for the past 5 years mostly taking the gate , a job which he took great pride in and was one of the best at it . He loved his football and could often be seen at Winchester City who he had supported for many years when not with ourselves . He was a character of which is rarely seen at football anymore and someone who was always in the middle of th...

After a flurry of early chances for Romsey which we failed to capitalize on Poole went on to show there title winning credentials and run out 2-0 winners Early chances fell to both Ryan Long and Joey Urquhart but neither chance was taken, further opportunities presented themselves but a failure to hit the target was punished on 31 minutes when Poole Town made no mistake in finding the back of the net. But at half-time and 1-0 down we knew we were still well in the game, but Poole came out and...

Towns Reserves finally completed a 90 minute game after the previous 2 weeks had been abandoned. Manager Robbie Elliott was a little disappointed after the game as the draw would of been the correct result but we again gifted the 3 points for Whitchurch. It was Elliott's former Winchester City 1st team player Dean Smith who was on loan from Andover scoring the first goal against his former Gaffa! (but he did apologize afterward's). Towns problems occured when they went down to that Smith...

Manager Glenn Burnett summed this game up in his post match comments to the Echo. "It feels like a defeat, the way the game was we should have been five or six clear by half time, we dominated from start to finish." The fact that we are still created so many chances in every game shows that the effort and work rate from the players and way we organize the team for each match is paying off, I cant help but think the weather and conditions of the pitch over the last few weeks have hindered the...

It was very much a game of two halfs with Romsey looking the better of the two teams at the break. But the second half brought the rain and a combination of basic errors and Totton & Eling coping better with the conditions saw them edge this one out 2-0 More to follow....

Romsey Town went into this game on a 5 game unbeaten run, only to come unstuck against Whitchurch and poor decisions from referee Mike Thomas. Whitchurch tool the lead from their first corner but from then on in Romsey slowly took control of the game but just couldnt find that critical goal. Dan Coleman apart from a great reaction save in the first half had little to do all game and Curtis Salmon who was lively in the second half broke free and was clean through only to be brought down i...

Romsey were reduced to 10 men with thirty minutes still to play in the second half. But a determined performance by Towns reserve team proved them a point. First 15 minutes of the 1st Half saw Portchester the more dangerous but this was to change as Romsey started to dictate, Sadler trying to continue his scoring streak but a well down wood header from Ben Morgan to Sadler couldnt be tucked away. Then Royce Reed had the chance to make it one nil but his near post shot hit the keeper when it...

Town reserves finally got their first win of the season after Tommy Hutchings scores in the first half to clinch the 3 points! Robbie Elliott gave debuts to 3 new players, 1 was himself playing at left back, Justin Burnett playing in at centre midfield and Gareth Sadler making his debut up front. The game as a whole wasnt the most attractive - but more about desire, willingness to work hard, hunger and determination. With all the team playing together and supporting each other, which has ...
