While Sid is away, the team has a great start to the summer season. Match abandoned due to opposition injury

A team made up of young talent, older experience and those getting back into the game had been assembled by Sid for the game against United Service (US). The weather had been kind to us but like true Brits, we were soon complaining about it being too hot! As such, the warm up didn't take too long and we got the game under way.

US brought a youthful team who had all had significant fitness, but it was the strength of Fareham's experienced midfield that showed through leading to a very quick opening goal. The half was end to end play with all US making some good attacks but not managing to convert any chances. Fareham's goals mainly came from breakaways - Pete, Ben and Cam all having the speed to beat the US defenders. By half time, we were 4-0 up.

The second half started well with a couple more goals before the match was halted due to a US injury requiring an ambulance. Despite the unfortunate end to the match, it was a great start to the summer season. As usual, Sid's absence results in a Fareham victory!

Thanks to Zech for umpiring
