Poole Town FC secured a 2-2 draw away at Yate Town on Tuesday 24 March 2026, which helps the club stay in the race for a promotion spot in Poole, Dorset. The match was held at Lodge Road and was a game that had been moved from its original date earlier in the football season.
The draw leaves the club, known as the Dolphins, in fourth place in the Southern League Premier South standings. They currently have 65 points after 35 matches, which puts them only three points behind second-placed Farnham Town and two points behind third-placed Gloucester City.
According to league records at Yate Town, the home side was sitting 20th in the table before the game started. While the champions of the league are promoted automatically, the teams finishing in the top five must compete in a series of playoff matches to decide who else moves up to a higher division.
Joint managers Joe Lea and Pat Suraci have been leading the squad since early 2025. The club has a long history in the local area having been founded in 1890 and previously played in the National League South before returning to this level in 2018.
Fans can see the team in action again when they host Bracknell Town at Tatnam Stadium this weekend. The game will take place on Saturday 28 March 2026 with a kick-off time of 15:00 and tickets are available to buy online.
