After two losses, Chandler’s Ford finally came out on top in this annual friendly. The two teams were very well matched with just a 3 points average rating difference.

With 14 players each this was the largest number of players for this fixture and was not far off County Match size.

The match was an opportunity for new players for both clubs to play in a competitive match, which is great practice for the 2024/25 season. CF were very pleased to finally win and many thanks to Fareham for hosting the match and for supplying the buffet. Team photos should be added to the HCA website shortly.

An article with photos and some of the games is available.
