Town make hard work of Lordswood…

Whitstable Town 2 Lordswood 1 (full time 1-1): It was not until five minutes from the end of the second period of extra time were Town able to take the lead against a hard-working Lordswood side:

Manager Mark Munday relieved after his side won through to the next round: “To be fair they will be going home tonight gutted that they did not progress to the next round, having said that there were many, many sides on Saturday who got beat buy lower league opposition. Thankfully, despite a couple of below par performances we are into the next round and it’s up to us now to up our game.

We have Carshalton next and that will be a tough one for us but the lads are more than capable of raising their game and progressing further. We are all looking forward to it, but first we have Dulwich Hamlet at the Belmont next Saturday in the Ryman League so the F.A. Cup will go on the back boiler for a week or so. For now we need to be focused just on the league and three points on Saturday.
