AFC Portchester v Fareham Town | Page 5

PAUL KELLY CHAIRMANS NOTES Afternoon As we take a welcome break from the league this week, we can take a look at the league table and be very satisfied with our league position, we know it’s going to be tough but we are still up there where we want to be heading for promotion. Graham & Jonno must be pleased with the lads attitude and commitment at this early stage of the season, and I know they will not let them rest on their laurels, it’s going to be a tough few months ahead, but I know we will be there where it matters. The reserves are again sitting pretty at the top of their league, still unbeaten, and played one or two of the title contenders coming away with the results they need to help defend their title.as you will read in peters notes he has had some surprise headliners this season, keep it up! Back to today, we welcome the players, officials and supporters of our nearest rivals Fareham Town, we will be defending our title, I am sure the lads will not want to give it up that easy. Lastly I would like our thoughts and best wishes going to the family and friends of one of our most recent loyal supporters, Wayne Conran, who sadly passed away two weeks ago. Wayne has been an ever present supporter home & away over the last twelve months or so, mainly coming to watch Josh Warren, as he has all through Josh’s playing days, but also enjoying the team’s success over the last year. Wayne you will be sadly missed. Enjoy the game, Paul JAMIE STEEVES DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALLS NOTES Since my last notes we’ve seen two great performances from the lads, an excellent 5-1 win over Moneyfields, which I took plenty of personal enjoyment from, and then a 2-2 draw at Andover which left us all deflated after the display we put on. For me however, the pace we now have in the side and the way we are attacking sides is very pleasing, and I’m sure you the supporters are enjoying it!! Saturday also saw a superb debut from new signing Geoff Dunn, and his signing shows we are attractive to the best youngsters in the area. This afternoons game sees us welcome Fareham to the Wicor for another home Derby fixture that we are desperate to win, a make further progress in the Wessex League Cup which we won last season. Please continue to get behind the players and staff, your support as always is appreciated Steevesy WWW.AFCPORTCHESTER.CO.UK 5
