DORSET PREMIER LEAGUE
TUESDAY 19TH AUGUST 2025
GILLINGHAM TOWN 0 VERWOOD TOWN 1

It took 25 minutes to break through a tight Gillingam defence. Some good link work exhibited between Bentley and Danvers, then Craciun on the run down the flank, a cut in and slip to Khilder who put Verwood one up as his strike disapeared through the Gillingham keeper.

Fudge and Knott worked hard in the middle and created a couple of decent opportunities for Craciun and Khilder but some good defence work by the home side kept the 45 minute break at 1-0.

Half time. 1-0.

It was a hard fought second half. Beck was busier and commanded his area during a torrid spell from the Gillingham forwards.

Lillis found it hard to shake off close marking but a good run and cross with ten minutes left on the clock should have produced a second goal. A clogged area denied Khilder increasing his tally.

A rugged win and a good team effort earned 3 points.

Result 1-0.
