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 seemed to have stepped up a gear and we struggled to create the chances as we did in the first period, on 64 minutes Poole made it 2-0 after some sustained pressure on our goal.

Even a triple substitution on 75 minutes couldn't get Romsey back into the game.

Despite the score it was a good display from the Romsey team and no-one know what would have been if we'd taken our early chances, but in the second half Poole Town retained the ball well and made good use of there possession.

But more important than this result is the Health of injured Poole Town midfielder Trefor Smith. The 24-year-old player had 33 stitches, internal and external, in a deep wound after he took an accidental kick to the head and looks likely to be sidelined for the rest of the season after hospital treatment revealed he had sustaining a fractured skull.

All the Romsey Town Staff, players and fans would like to send there best wishes to Trefor and we all wish him a speedy recovery.
