vs Swanage 1s 23rd September 2017
In their first pre-season and fielding a slightly different team to usual, Poole started off clearly the stronger side. After a couple of minutes Poole had already amounted a sizeable lead and really got comfortable. With 5 minutes left of the first half, you could really tell that Poole fitness levels were higher. Swans eventually got a goal against us but the final score was Poole 8, Swans 1. With that result, Poole look ready for the new league!
vs Weymouth 16th September 2017
Today saw the Men's 1's play Weymouth. After a positive start, and a few chances missed, Poole dominated. In the second quarter, Poole were still dominating the game with every player putting in a good shift to track their players and create chances. At half time we realised we needed to take advantage of the width to create space. Against the run of play, Weymouth scored a goal, which only motivated the team. The last quarter, we changed formation to 2 at the back, in an attempt to get the win. After some running down the line, Scott slotted home the first goal to even the game to 1-1. Finally the second goal came from the team to get a well deserved 2-1 win.
