Next up - Molesey home on Saturday, 1st September at Wodson Park SG12 0UQ; Bostik Isthmian League Div. 1 (South Central), kick off 3pm.
Admission - Adults £10, Concessions £5, Under 14s free with a paying adult.
Following Monday's defeat at Theobalds Lane Ware and new manager Paul Halsey will want to get back on to winning ways when they entertain their Surrey visitors on Saturday.
Molesey come to Ware looking for their first league points of the season so I suppose they will draw comfort from their last league visit to Ware in 1984 when they won a division two game 5-0. That and a later league cup victory were at Buryfield so this will be their first visit to Wodson Park.
Ware will want to get back to form both to keep their league campaign going and to get themselves into shape for the following week's visit of Lowestoft Town in the FA Cup. We may need to take a lesson from Molesey who drew at home to Step 3 Lewes in their FA Cup preliminary round match. They now face an away replay next Tuesday.
The day's programme is £1.50 on the gate and will include the usual range of articles. In Aiden's "Astroturf" series he gives his views on the management change and what it might bode for the future.
