Good lucky anyway I've always wanted to try without reunion players
THE SEASON BEGINS!
BSS -
Christchurch 0-1 Weymouth
This being Weymouth's first game back in the BSS after getting relegated, they found this a lot harder than they thought it would be and they were fortunate to come away with a point.
Newport County 1-3 Christchurch Cleverley
In a game where we were absolutely dreadful, we deserved nothing and proved just why we will be relegation candidates this season.
Christchurch 1-2 Bromley Wright
We were much better, MUCH better. However we had a hatful of chances and could not hit a barn door until it was too late. Hopefully things are shaping up though.
Thurrock 2-0 Christchurch
Despite having the lion's share of possession, we just couldnt take our chances again. So I am going to dip into the free transfer market before the transfer window shuts to bolster our attacking line.
21st place.

Woking 2-1 Christchurch
Need I say more? We play exceptionally well and despite bringing in 2 strikers both making their debuts for a combined fee of £0, we still couldn't take our chances. I am sensing a win coming in the next few games though. The only consolation is that Lewes are bottom with a worse GD and I am only 2 points from safety.

Woking 2-0 Christchurch Setanta Shield
A dismal performance, but at the end of the season with such a small squad could this prove beneficial?
Christchurch 0-2 Dover
By this point we are now 7 straight defeats and have not amassed a point, there were positives of course there were, but not enough to signal that we would avoid relegation.
Dorchester 1-1 Christchurch Charles Smith
We have done it! At last we have picked up a point, and it feels brilliant especially at 2nd placed Dorchester - We had much more possession, still could have taken more chances but this was a game where we expected to get nothing from, despite Charles Smith's 35th minute goal we were under pressure for the last 15 minutes where inevitably they scored an 84th minute equaliser which was gutting but positively we have a point.
22nd place.
Cheers mate, I think my target of 15 seasons was a bit too ambitious
Dover 5-0 Christchurch Fa Cup, qualifying Rnd 2
Dreadful, we were absolute shocking. Back to old ways? I most certainly hope not, at least it was the cup (An unwanted distraction) and it was to high-flying Dover.

Instead of posting updates for every game, I thought I'd just plough through the season to get it over and done with.... The battle to avoid relegation went right down to the wire with us needing to better Girona's result - They lost at home to Alicante and we beat Elché 1-0 to secure our Liga Adelante place. Attached are our best 2 results and the final league table. Next update to come after transfer window with screenshots of signings and games played to date.
