Whistle Stop are a new team in the Meon Valley Sunday League Division 1, whilst Liss Athletic Reserves play in the East Division of the Hampshire Combination & Development League.

Whistle Stop played in ‘West Liss F.C.’ kits (probably their name last season ?) and had the usual Sunday League look, where a couple of players had the wrong colour shorts, and another two in non matching socks, but as far as ability goes, they looked a decent side. For good measure, they even had substitutes coming on and putting on the shirt of the player they were replacing. Not very hygienic, especially with Covid-19 in our midst!

It was a good end to end game, that was in the balance until Whistle Stop killed the game off with two goals in stoppage time. I was surprised how light it was when we finished at 19.52, considering the thick cloud overhead.
