4 THE BOSS Andover New Street 2-1 Downton 19th December 2020
The Street got off to a bright start in the 2020/21 season with a 2-0 away victory over Newport IOW, thanks to a debut goal from Ally McCracken and Shane Lock securing the win in the second half.
This was followed up with a narrow 1-0 defeat at home against Peterasfield, with the unfortunate Scott KInge scoring an own goal late on.
Cup defeats followed at Bashley and New Milton – on penalties. A much needed win at home to lowly Totton & Eling with Brett Denham getting off the mark with two goals, set-up a midweek league match against near neighbours Andover Town. The Street looked in a commanding position 2-0 up at half-time through a spectacular Danny Urry strike and a Scott Kinge header, but a bizarre second-half and some questionable referee decisions resulted in a 5-2 defeat and the Street finishing with only 7 players – two sent off and two in the sin-bin.
Further draws against Hythe & Dibden, Downton and Fawley saw the Street in mid-table and losing ground to the sides at the top of the table. A narrow midweek home win against Whitchurch United didn’t seem to get the recation needed as defeats against Romsey Town and runaway leaders Laverstock & Ford followed. Worse was to come from the Laverstock defeat with midfielder Scott KInge stretchered off with a serious injury.
Downton were the next visitors to Foxcotte Park, who themselves were not having the best of seasons after the previous campaign had seen them challenging for promotion before the

season was abandoned. 72 FIXTURES AND RESULTS The game started brightly for both sides with
Robins TJ Moseley giving the Street backline a torrid time, while Street
Craig Harding was also giving Downton some defensive problems.
It was through Harding that the Street took the lead halfway through the first half when he neatly controlled a high ball on the right wing and played a delightful cross field ball for Shane
Lock to score.
Harding would then get on the score sheet himself minutes later as the Street went in at half-time in the ascendancy however came out positive in the second half and reduced the deficit to 2 finished off a fine flowing move but despite putting the Street defence under pressure they could not find an equaliser. This would all be played in vain however as at 4pm that very afternoon it was announced that the country would go back into lockdown over Christmas and well into the New Year, which would mean a second abandonment of the season, one that I think both Street and
Downton were keen to put behind them.

Players “overwhelmingly support” continuing to take a knee before football matches to highlight racial inequality and fight discrimination, the
Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said. Millwall and Colchester faced no disciplinary action from the Football
Association after some of their supporters booed players taking a knee. Celtic manager Neil Lennon said his club were focused on the British transfer market due to Brexit.
WESSEX LEAGUE LATEST NEWS
No easy rides for Horndean in 'most competitive' Wessex League Premier Division for several seasons
Horndean manager Michael Birmingham believes the Wessex League Premier Division is the most competitive it's been for a number of years this season.
Horndean head into it having been held to a 0-0 draw by rivals AFC Portchester on Saturday - despite Steve Ramsey being shown a straight red card for the visitors inside two minutes. As a result, Birmingham's men dropped down a place to third in the table with Baffins Milton Rovers leapfrogging them after a weekend win at Amesbury. And, with ninth-placed Alton visiting Five Heads Park next, the Horndean boss is expecting another tough run-out in what he deems as one of the most competitive Wessex Premier's for several seasons. Birmingham said: ‘Alton have been outstanding. They’ve got great honesty, they’ve got a very, very good manager who knows his stuff, the boys certainly play for him - they’re going to be a very difficult team to play against.
‘They’re not going to be easy, there are no easy games in this league, this league is probably the most competitive it’s been for a good six or seven years. ‘You had Sholing and Sholing were outstanding, apart from those couple of years, it’s been competitive. This now, I think it’s a really competitive league.’
Horndean had both Tommy Tierney and Alfie Lis forced off through injury in the weekend stalemate with Portchester and they will have to wait to see if either are available to face Alton. But Birmingham is hopeful of being able to call on some of the several first-teamers who missed the Royals meeting against Alton.
Roach seals Royales Move
Folland Sports striker Clayd Roach has signed for Wessex Premier AFC Portchester.
The Pacey Striker/Winger is current top scorer in the Wessex League 1 and will bring plenty of goals to the Portchester attack, scoring 16 in 9 starts this season!
The Planemakers, who currently sit in second place in the league are surely to miss Roach’s goals as he nearly has scored half the sides total goals this season – 39.
Roach’s last appearance for Folland Sports was back in mid September, when he was substituted during the 41 defeat at Bemerton Heath Harlequins
ROUND-UP
Fareham Town hoping for similar feeling at Cams Alders
Pete Stiles is refusing to look too far ahead as Fareham Town hope for a repeat of their last home performance when they welcome Shaftesbury on Saturday.
Fareham produced a stunning victory to defeat Jersey Bulls on penalties to progress to the second round of the FA Vase last weekend.
“Every game is a tough game in this division at the moment, we’ll just have to keep going. It’s not the end of the world a draw at the moment. It’s a long, long season with funny twists and turns to go yet.”
Moneyfields FC have thanked the local football community for their support and donations after one of their players was the victim of a serious assault. The Portsmouth-based club have been inundated with messages of goodwill since news broke that defender Stanlie Hopkins was hospitalised after an incident in the Red Lion pub car park in Cosham on Monday.
An online Crowfunder set up by the club to raise £1,000 for the player – who remains in hospital in Southampton – has already seen that total passed in only a few hours. Portsmouth FC have also donated a signed shirt to be auctioned or raffled off, while former Blues players Christian Burgess and Ben Close have donated shirts and boots.
Moneys first team boss Glenn Turnbull said: ‘We’ve been blown away by the support. ‘I’m not really surprised, it’s what the football community does. Everyone is friends off the park. That’s the good thing about being in a football club - people will come together as a group when you need them. We must have had over 100 messages of goodwill and people asking if there’s anything they can do. Ninety nine per cent of the time you’ll never need to ask, but it’s good to know the support is there if we do.”
The Crowdfunding page was set up earlier today and has already raised over £1,100.
Moneyfields’ Wessex League rivals Baffins Milton Rovers have donated £100, while AFC Stoneham and Andover New Street have also donated. Portsmouth Sunday League club The Meon have also given £100.
