WELCOME

Good afternoon and welcome to this afternoon's Southern League Premier Division
South match versus Winchester City. Ahead of any discussion on football it is only

of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She served our nation for 70 years with
unrivalled grace, dignity and purpose and the thoughts of everyone at the club are

the commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and
sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so
widely held.”

Studley before slotting the ball in. However two goals from the visitors wide-man
