Ambitious Farnborough could realise their dream; ZAMARETTO LEAGUE.


FARNBOROUGH are on a mission to achieve Blue Square Premier status as soon as possible and they are worthy 2-1 favourites to win the Zamaretto League, writes Dan Childs.

The Hampshire outfit were extremely consistent last season but they finished one point behind fellow big-spenders Corby and suffered the as gony of a play-off final defeat to third-placed Gloucester, who had collected eight fewer points during the regular campaign.

It is not easy to bounce back from such a blow, but Boro appear determined to prove that their play-off final agony was nothing more than a temporary setback.

 and ex-Barnet striker Anthony Thomas, who had a prolific goalscoring record at Blue Square South level with former employers Hemel Town.

Farnborough have assembled a squad which is arguably strong enough to compete two levels higher than the Zamaretto League and they wshould ill be racking up some heavy victories throughout the campaign.

Cornish representatives Truro City look the biggest dangers to Farnborough's supremacy, but they are short enough at 8-1. Since clinching the Southern League Division One South and West title - their third promotion in succession - Truro have bolstered their ranks with the signings of recent Blue Square Premier players Santos Gaia, Alex Jeannin and Les Afful. However, the rest of their squad will need time to adjust at a higher level.

The standout value each-way alternative is Hednesford, who have been asked switch from the Unibond Premier as a result of regional restructuring.

Hednesford have added experienced former league players Richard Walker, Tony Dinning, Gavin Ward and Sam Aiston to a group which narrowly missed out on the Unibond Premier play-offs last term and they look overpriced at 20-1. Recommendations Farnborough 5pts 2-1 Coral Hednesford 2pts each-way 20-1 Coral
