I am researching the History of the Western League and was wondering if anyone might have any old programmes/club records that would provide my missing details from the 1950s & 60s
1956-57 Poole Town Res 1 Dorchester Town Res 1 (John Powell does not have this date in his records)
1958-59 H v Bristol City Colts H v Bristol Rovers Colts H v Chippenham Town H v Portland United A v Bristol City Colts A v Gloucester City Res A v Portland United
Date of Salisbury 4 Poole Res 1
1959-60 Date of Poole Res 3 Salisbury 3
Details of League Cup Prel Rd 1st and 2nd legs v Portland United
1960-61 Poole v Portland Utd Portland Utd v Poole Bristol Rovers Colts v Poole
Dates of Salisbury 3 Poole 1 and Poole 2 Salisbury 3
1961-62 Date of Salisbury 2 Poole Res 3 Result of Poole v Yeovil from 03 Feb 62 (yeovil record 4-3 to Poole but the league table suggests 5-3?)
1963-64 Date of Poole Res 1 Welton Rovers 2 - played midweek late Sept or early Oct
1964-65 Exeter City Res v Poole Res - probably played before the end of Sept
Any snippets of information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and good luck for the forthcoming campaign

That's great. Thank you very much for those. They are a big help. By any chance, Do the Programmes/Newspaper offer any details of the results?
