Flackwell Heath 1 – 0 Basingstoke Town (Pre-Season Friendly) Saturday 8th July 2023

Stoke’s opening friendly saw Aaron in charge of the team whilst Dan Brownlie was away.

It was pre-agreed that Stoke would have two different sets of eleven players for each half.

The first-half contained our new signing Dan Isaiah Rowe, who appeared up front alongwith Ashleigh Artwell & Stefan Brown.

The midfield contained Simon Dunn, D’Andre Brown and a trialist.

The defence had a Mark Scott in goal, with a trialist at right-back, Nathan Smart in the centre with Luis Le Paih and George Reid in the left back role.

A competitive half with the homeside possibly edging it as they forced a number of good saves out of Scotty in goal.

The second-half saw Paul Hodges, James Clark, and the return of Marcio Neves up front.

The midfield was Michael Atkinson, Ben Cook and a trialist.

The defence had a trialist in goal, with Dan Williamson on the right, Bradley Wilson alongside Billy Upton and Callum Winchcombe on the left.

Stoke were the better side, but Flackwell made some last ditch tackles and blocks to keep a number of our players from scoring.

Flackwell Heath won the game with a finish just minutes before the end.

Final Score: Flackwell Heath 1 – 0 Basingstoke Town

Attendance – 265
