Rolling mist at Potterne Park causes the match against Whitchurch to be abandoned as half time approached
The mist drifted in and out shortly after the game had started making it difficult for players, officials and spectators alike.
With the score at 0-0 and nearly 40 minutes played, the conditions had worsened considerably and a short break was ordered to see if things would improve.
Whilst some took the footballing equivalent of a cricket 'early tea', managers readied their players with fog lights and the officials continued to monitor the situation.
After a short while it was apparent conditions would not improve and the match abandoned.

Following up our 'Halloween Horror' at Sherborne (where we went out of the Dorset Senior Cup despite a good performance) we failed to light the

|

Verwood started well against second in the table Laverstock & Ford creating chances and looking resolute in defence. A Charlie Elysee volley from a
left side cross put them one up. After half an hour Laverstock & Ford began to get on top and we hung out to half time courtesy of some poor Laverstock finishing. The second half was spent (unsuccessfully) trying to keep Laverstock & Ford
out. A penalty (for the second year running here) equalized and further goals dampened spirits in the drizzly conditions. At 3-1 down we at last started to create some attacks, but the crossbar and the replacement Laverstock keeper still managed to
keep us out. |

Verwood started brightly and created some good chances but couldn't put them away. Fleet started to get back into the game when Dan Goodall in a second
run towards the Fleet keeper netted the ball for 1-0. In the second half, Fleet created some reasonable openings but poor finishing and a couple of good saves kept them out. Our nervous supporters were treated to some fine 'head tennis' and
'up and unders' as the game drew to a conclusion! |

The goals (along with heavy rain) came later in the second half to give Verwood a 2-0 victory over a determined Liss Athletic.
Verwood created some good chances in the first half and could have taken the lead except for the woodwork and some good saves from the Liss Keeper. Liss fought back themselves and went close with a saved shot by new keeper Willis hitting the
underside of the crossbar. Verwood eventually converted the possesion and chances into goals in the last 20 minutes.
