Pinner is set to join Poachers 300 club


The Poachers will travel to London Road looking to push their unbeaten run to five matches at the expense of the United Counties League Premier Division’s basement boys.
Pinner was due to mark his milestone at former club Holbeach United at the weekend, only for the contest to fall foul of the conditions.

“But also, to have been playing at this level for that period of time, as well as still being a force at that level, great credit should go to Ollie.
“He looks after himself fitness-wise and also never has a hair out of place, which is brilliant that he still has some at his age - something I can’t relate to.”
Pinner was handed his debut as a teenager by Bob Don-Duncan in a 1-1 draw away at Wootton Blue Cross in August .
