Afternoon All

It’s good to be home again after the success of
Tuesday evening and getting our first 3 points
on the board. Lift off!!!

That was so much more important than people
probably realised but that now gives us the lift
and confidence to kick on. Backing up Tuesday’s
win with another win today will really kick us
on but we’re very aware Farnborough will be
a tough outfit.

One of my previous clubs so always good to
play against them, still have great people at the
club & always a pleasure to see them.

Anyway let’s get behind the boys today, kick on
& get this season seriously rolling!!!

Chaplain’s Corner
Welcome to today’s game and to our visitors from
Farnborough, we hope you have a safe trip home.

Last week I found myself driving through the edge
of Farnborough, while visiting someone I know
from my years in my previous parish in that part of
northeast Hampshire. It got me to thinking about
all the different places we live/work/visit in life –
people today are so much more mobile than we
were in previous centuries, and travel and moving
are part of many people’s experience. And, even if
we ourselves stay put, the media bring the world
to us – it has been humbling and tragic to see
how things have unfolded in Afghanistan recently.       God’s nature. Wherever we find ourselves, He is
                                                        there. As the Bible says in Joshua 1.9, we can have

many places. But the more I have moved around,
the more I have found myself reflecting on how          Rev David Price
much we have in common with our brothers                (Vicar of St John’s, Poole)
and sisters from different places and cultures.

Interestingly, one of the things which much of the
world has in common is football – there are very

few places where it is not played. But there are
deeper things which we have in common too –
this is hardly surprising as all people everywhere
