Match Thought’s
A pretty much forgone conclusion once the starting line-up was announced. Hook although they tried never really troubled Simon Grant in goal. Stoke also hit the post three other times and created numerous other half-chances.
More importantly it appears no injuries were picked-up.
Up Next:
We return to league action, as we travel to Havant & Waterlooville this coming Saturday (30th) KO 3pm.
