![]() Amid the end of Season Presentation Evening and awards it was worthy to note the performance from our Reserves side, who, after an indifferent start to the season went 9 unbeaten to finish 4th in the Wyvern League West. The Second Team are important to our club both in providing support to the First Team and bringing opportunities for playing at a competitive level to more individuals in the community |
12-May-14 | ![]() Verwood Town manager Carl Poore has his sights set on cup success for the Potters after seeing fellow Wessex League side Sholing enjoy Vase glory at Wembley. As he prepares for his first full season in charge of the Potterne Park outfit, he fully understands just how important cup competitions are to all clubs at this level. ![]() The Boatmen's success has again raised the profile of the Sydenhams Wessex League, a league that Carl believes is one of the best at this level in the country, "I think the Wessex League is one of the best around and that has been proved again with Sholing winning the Vase. As a player, I had very successful runs in both the FA Cup and FA Vase and when you have a run like that, it brings a huge aura to the club. As players you feel really wanted and with the coverage you get, it's great for the club. ![]() The Potters boss has seen cup success at first hand and is urging his charges to take the opportunities that will present themselves in the 2014-15 campaign, "We have to go out to do well in the cup competitions. I got to the semi-final as a Wessex League player and a Wessex League side have just won it and that proves that we all have a chance. It is all about how you perform on the day and it's about taking in pride in the club and to get the club in to the next round. We know that the further we can go, the more interest the club can attract from local people who may come here for the first time and then see just what a good set up we have here."

12-Apr-14 | ![]() Carl Poore officially takes over as the manager of Verwood Town on Saturday and the former AFC Bournemouth, Dorchester, Wimborne and Poole Town defender is relishing the new challenge. It is a step up from the Dorset Premier League where he was boss of neighbours Cranborne, a step he is looking forward to taking, "I can't wait for the challenge to start. The Wessex League is one of the best in the area. It's such a strong league with some big clubs in it. "Verwood is a big town and I believe that it deserves a good football club. I know the club well and when you look back only a few years, the improvements have been vast. The ground is nice for supporters and they can see a very good young team playing in a decent semi-professional league. ![]() The new man in charge has said that there will be no wholesale changes at the club, but with his contacts within the local non-league scene, he will be hoping for to bring in some new talent, "I have played in this area for many years and I know a lot of players. I will not be taking anything away from the players we have here now though as they all deserve their chance. "I look at the league table though and the way results have gone recently and I know we need to be improving on that. The aim next season has to be for being in mid table and with the way they play against the big teams in this league, we should be capable of that. They have struggled against some of the lesser sides and we need a mentality where we raise our game in each match, and not just against the top teams." ![]() Article: Michael Cunningham April 2014 |

![]() Verwood Town FC are delighted to announce that Carl Poore has been appointed as manager of the Potterne Park Outfit. Poore has been the manager of Dorset Premier League side Cranborne, taking the reins in 2013 after becoming a well-respected defender in local non-league circles, playing for the likes of Dorchester Town, Wimborne Town and was captain of a highly successful Poole Town side. Carl was a key figure in the Dolphins Wessex League winning squad in 2009 and also the side that reached the semi-finals of the FA Vase in 2011. He was forced to announce his retirement from the playing side of the game through a knee injury and showed a great eagerness to remain in the game, qualifying as a coach and then being appointed as Cranborne manager before being announced as the new Verwood boss. Potters Chairman Steve Jefferis is delighted with the appointment, saying, "We had a lot of interest in the manager's position, but the appointment of Carl was a unanimous decision. He is local to the area and knows the club, has good contacts and knowledge of the Wessex League and has drive, determination and knows how to get the best out of players." "He has a great deal of respect in local non-league circles and importantly knows many of the Verwood players and we are all extremely pleased that he is the man to take the club forward. The appointment comes at a vital time as it will give us the stability that every club needs approaching the close season. It will give Carl the time to assess the squad and we can be fully prepared for the 2014-15 season." Michael Cunningham Publicity Manager - Verwood Town FC |

Thanks from the Vice-Chairman It had potential for a very difficult day yesterday with a number of Committee members being away for the weekend coupled with the major changes within the Club. I don't wish to labour on these points but rather say a massive thank you to all those that have rallied round to help. Unfortunately the result went against us but we are indebted to Danny Saxby for stepping in as interim manager and the Players for turning out in their numbers. The changing room atmosphere is good and a lot of that is down to Bernie and Dan Scott. Off the pitch the set up cavalry superbly marshalled by Roy were brilliant. The Clubs thanks must go to Colin and Kevin for putting up the banners, Jennie, Greg and Lila for running the kiosk and other helpers I saw down there including Martin Gilham, Alec Guthrie, Jim Dyer, Mike Fry, Steve Yerby and Wattsy. If I have missed anyone out my sincere apologies but I wasn't out pitch side for long after the game. Well done and thank you to everyone who helped. Neville Vice Chairman - Verwood Town FC |

8-Feb-14 | ![]() Verwood Town FC have followed the path of the Dorset town with rapid growth in recent years, and highly respected manager Adie Arnold believes the club is ready to step up the progression The club have moved quickly from Bournemouth and Hampshire leagues to competing in the Wessex League Premier Division as well as the FA Cup and FA Vase. The club have moved on from playing on park pitches to their Potterne Park home. The stadium is a testament to the hard work of a number of Verwood people who have dedicated many hours for the love of the club. There is seating, covered terracing and now a tea bar, making the experience of watching 'The Potters', a highly enjoyable one. Now just one step away from Southern League football, the club are urging the people and businesses in the town to get behind their local club, a club that is doing the town of Verwood proud. ![]() "We have a great bunch of lads here, and with finances, the majority will stay with me. I am looking to progress, the players want to progress and the club want to progress. We all have that ambition here and with investment, we can realise that." The philosophy of the club has always been to give young players a chance to flourish and Arnold is certain with investment, they can be allowed to reach their potential, "We have a really good group here. In my time at Verwood, I have built up three teams, and this is the best one. A lot of the players have been at other clubs, but have not been given a chance. They have come here and we have nurtured them and we know that if we keep this side together, we can push on as a club, but have to have more to offer the players. ![]() "The potential is here, we now need the people and the businesses of Verwood to get behind the club and us to continue to move forward." WANT TO GET INVOLVED? We want local businesses to get involved with their local club. We can offer match, manager and player sponsorship packages, ground advertising, programme advertising, we can cater for any partnerships to help the continued progression of Verwood Town FC and to raise the profile of any company.

Following the match on Saturday, 21 participants entered our Annual Games night being a mixture of Players, Committee members, Supporters and Wives/Girlfriends. This year youth prevailed over experience! With Boyd's Social Club till kept busy and hot dogs and buffet helping to keep everyone fuelled the battles commenced. The Table Tennis, always difficult to do with a few pints sloshing around inside was retained by Ben Kelly. The final was between Ben and James Murray and it was a close run game. Congratulations to Ben and also Galer who made it to the semi's despite being twice the age of any of the other final four. The Pool saw some interesting matches and in a turnaround of previous years the Committee were falling by the wayside with the players dominating. I am classing Danny Saxby as a player and unfortunately he and Alex Brooker were losing semi-finalists with the final between Mike Haskell and Ben Kelly. Mike went onto win and congratulations to him. A special mention to Jennie Munson who made it through to the Quarter finals only to be beaten by the eventual winner. It should be mentioned also that previous champion Roy Mortimer did not get past the first round! The Darts was a closely fought battle between the ages. Again the champion Roy fell at the first hurdle but the semis saw Galer play Nathan Saxby with Mike Haskell taking on the competitive and past champion Adrian Arnold. The final was between Adi and Nathan and despite being told he'll never be selected for the first team again Nathan ignored this and went onto win. However, not to be outdone the Committee wiped the floor with the football cards with the winners being Chairman Steve and Secretary Roy! There was a terrific atmosphere which formed a most enjoyable evening and thanks go to everyone who helped, especially Laura who kept score and kept the tournaments ticking over and Jennie and Anna for their efforts with the food and tidying up. In addition I am pleased to announce we made a profit of £115 for Club funds.. A big thank you to everyone who attended. Next event, the Quiz, details to follow shortly.... ![]() |

We wish them well in the next round. StevieStats™ Corners Newport 10: Verwood 3, Attempts on target Newport 5: Verwood 3, Attempts off target Newport 5: Verwood 5 |

Wyvern League Announces Wyvern Shield and League Cup Competition News -
With the small divisions it is inevitable that we will run a Shield competition this season. At the start of the season there are the usual uncertainties caused by outside cup competitions but there are other imbalances which cause difficulties. As an example on September 7th, the West Division has only two grounds available whereas the East Division has at least 7 (possibly as many as 9) grounds available.
It will help to overcome this imbalance if we were to start the Shield competition as soon as possible. The League Committee has considered the situation and it looks as though 28 of our 32 teams want to take part (a couple of replies are still awaited). There will be 4 groups of 7 with each team playing the other once. The top 2 teams from each group will progress to a knock out phase. The following are the groups:
GROUP A - Bemerton H.H., New Milton,
Downton,
Laverstock,
Team Solent,
Colden Common,
Tadley Calleva Wyvern League cup - In addition the draw for the 1st round of the League Cup pitches Verwood away to Bemerton HH |
