Bashley enjoyed the standout week in the Wessex League. On Saturday 19 September they beat Fleetlands 5-0 in the Premier Division. On Tuesday 22 September they beat Southampton 3-1 in the Hampshire Senior Cup, on a night when the club remembered Mike Cranidge, after whom the Main Stand is named. His children, Neil and Emma, were guests, the first team wore black armbands and there was a minute's applause before kick-off. Jack Lovell was named player of the match, voted for by the Cranidge family.
Fleetlands, after the Bashley defeat, lost 3-2 at Horndean on Tuesday, a game decided by a stoppage-time strike from Kieran Alcock. Will Webb was named man of the match on his debut for the hosts.
At Petersfield Town, the club announced it had parted company with first-team manager Zak Sharp, with an interim manager in charge for the visit of Baffins Milton Rovers on Tuesday. The Rams drew that game 2-2, Jo Houldsworth scoring on his return and Alfie Stringer getting the second. Earlier on Saturday they had lost 2-0 at home to Brockenhurst.
Downton announced the signings of Will Keita and Martin Videnov after Keita scored the winner against Millbrook. Their reserves also won a JCMS Cup tie at New Milton on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
East Cowes Victoria Athletic conceded a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw at Laverstock & Ford, who fought back from 3-1 down. Cowes Sports drew 1-1 at home to Andover New Street, who signed defenders Tommy Whitehead and Harrison Hide. Two Vase away trips have been organised: Hamworthy Recreation to Buckland Athletic and Sturminster Newton United to Newquay, both on 10 October.
