Fleet Town 2 - 1 Winchester City

Winchester's injury woes continued as they lost yet another goalkeeper in their 2-1 defeat against Fleet in the North Hampshire Cup Quarter-Final.

3rd choice 'keeper Stacey Harper was involved in a collision on the edge of his area early in the second half. It's believed that he has suffered snapped ankle ligaments and won't be back until next season.

Before Harper's injury, the game was relatively uneventful. A few chances for Fleet in the first half were the only moments of interest in what turned out to be a dull first half.

The second half was far more eventful. The injury to Harper saw Zac Glasspool end up in goal for the second game in a row.

Winchester made the most of the second half, creating the better chances and in the 85th minute Nathan Lynch seemed to send Winchester through to the semi final.

Fleet responded straight away though, with Mark Anderson seeming to send the game to extra time.

It was heartbreak for Winchester, as Dan Read made the most of a defensive mix up between Glasspool and Danny King, sending Fleet through to the next round.

Winchester City 1 - 1 Poole Town


A hard fought draw against top of the table Poole was overshadowed by a bad injury to Winchester keeper Ryan Gosney.

While taking a goal kick, Gosney's leg appeared to twist awkwardly in the turf and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle.

It was a sour point in a game that Winchester should be pleased with. Winchester took the lead early on in the game. Some good work down the wing by Jeff Cavey saw the ball land to Zach Glasspool, who controlled it excellently before shooting past Nic Jones. The Poole management will be baffled as to why he was allowed so much time on the ball.

Poole had few chances before half time, although a fantastic save by Gosney after 33 minutes ensured that Winchester maintained their lead going into the break.

It wasn't much later that Gosney was being carried off in a stretcher. With no reserve 'keeper on the bench, it fell to goalscorer Zach Glasspool to put on the gloves and go in goal.

It was unfortunate for Glasspool that it was his mistake that gifted Poole the equaliser. A long ball into the box was dropped by Glasspool and Stuart Gates pounced to gift a point to Poole.
