And so season 2008/09 is off to a winning start away from home and in Europe.
I say Europe because Portland is a bit off shore, and whilst yes I accept that it is connected to the UK by a causeway I think that the French probably think they are going overseas when they go to the Mt. San Michel. Maybe.
Anyhow I am sticking with it as I always thought our rare wins against Newport Isle of Wight were European victories so there. Argue if you want, but my logic is sound!
My man at the match isn't answering his phone yet this morning but I can stick with the facts I know and that is...
Portland United 0-4 Weymouth (The scorers I think were Dubois 2, Beavon, Sandwidth)
Of course the real tests lie a lot further down the track and history will show us that a decent pre-season for this club usually means a terrible season, but i am staying positive.
It would be nice to think that we can have it all this campaign. And I did dream that Chris McPhee became the first player to score the winning goal in consecutive seasons for different clubs in the FA Trophy.
Beaver got the second against a below par York Side.
My dreams don't usually come true but its worth keeping an eye out!
