Poole Town – The Vale – Sat 3 Sep

We welcome Poole Town to The Vale (HA4 6JQ) this coming  Saturday (3 Sep)  for our latest Vanarama National League South fixture kick-off 15:00

Our visitors were promoted last season from the Evo-Stick Southern Premier League and have made aa good start to life in the National League South picking up 16 points from their first 7 games played having won 5 (1-0 versus Maidenhead Utd, 1-0 verses Bishop’s Stortford, 1-0 versus Margate , 1-0 versus Bath City at home &  4-2 away to Hemel Hempstead), drawn 1 (0-0 at Weston -super-Mare) and lost 1 (0-4 at Ebbsfleet Utd).

The Stones management team and squad will also be looking to build on their good start to the season so we can expect to see a interesting game between two sides who are likely to play quite different styles of play come Saturday.

Thank you to Frank Funnell for the match ball donation and our match day mascots Zaky Ellis, Sammy Ellis & Freddy Ellis

Saturday is also Non-League day, launched in 2010 it coincides with an international break  and provides Non-League Day clubs a platform to promote the importance of affordable volunteer led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local non-league side on a day when there are no Premiership  or EFL Championship games.
