Challenging pitch conditions made the game difficult the visitors, who had few opportunities during the match to recover from their disastrous-half defending, which ultimately led to their defeat

First-half goals from Mark Ford and Elliot Manson had the game wrapped up by halftime, as Blandford repeatedly exploited the Poole Borough FC defence on the edge of the box.

Hamworthy's spirited performance against United should boost their morale for the second half of the season. Blandford Utd FC can be pleased that as they opted for a more fluid style, maximizing the potential of Ford and Benjamin Knight.
