Whitstable Town play at Croydon tomorrow evening (Wednesday) in group C of the Premier Division Cup. The Trams currently head the mini table with a win and a draw from three games, Whitstable are in second spot with the same results from just two fixtures. This game marks half way in the round robin for Whitstable and there are two further matches just next week on Tuesday and Saturday (24th & 28th), home v Greenwich Borough and away at Sporting Bengal United. This will be the first time Town have visited Croydon's ground since they joined the Kent League the scheduled league fixture not being until March. Their average league gate to date is 71. Tonight, Tuesday 17th, there are some Kent Football League Premier matches going on, the biggest of which is at Hythe Town who entertain Faversham Town. Faversham can go top of the league with a win while Hythe could move up to fourth. Should be a close encounter between two of the better sides in this year's league. However, Hythe will need to be switched on to beat a very confident Town side. Should the Lilywhites win Whitstable will be one point behind with three games in hand. |

 Marc Seager September Manager of month
Whitstable 4 Erith & Belvedere 2
?At times we were awful? said Whitstable manager Marc Seager: ?yes, I am very pleased with the win and another three points which keeps our great run going. I suppose if you?d have asked me before the game would I have been happy to beat one of the sides tipped as title contenders, the answer would have been, Yes. But I will let the players know that I an not happy with the way we played at times, breaking up their moves then giving the ball away far too easily, on top of that we conceded two very sloppy goals.?
Whitstable were under pressure from the first whistle, driven on by the Erith & Belvedere player/manager Wayne Brown in the centre of a three man back line the ?Deres? played a fast tempo game holding a very high line up the pitch. Deres had chance through Lee Morgan, saved on the line by Tom Parker, then Kevin Fewll pulled off a great save from Morgan as the visitors threatened to over-run Town. |

 Stuart Harrison
Greenwich Borough 1 Whitstable 1: Group C KPL CUP
?You can see why the lads like playing with Harry, ? Whitstable Manager Marc Seager said after his side drew 1-1 in their Group Cup to set them joint top of the table after two games. ?You will not see a better pass than the one which Harry played Marcos in for our goal, it was all of thirty yards, the ball was just inches of the ground straight into the stride of Marcos, mind he still finished well but he would have been disappointed with himself to have missed it after Harry showed such vision.?
Stuart Harrison?s pass, for Town?s gaol was just deserts for a battling performance by a much changed side from the one that played against Deal on Saturday. Seager resting many of his young players who have been playing twice a week recently, he himself played in midfield with Perona alongside, up front Sam Prett partnered Andy Constable. Although Town were at times second best in the first half to a speedy 'Boro' side due largely to their effervescent trio of Dave Hassett, who scored the home sides goal in the 18th minute and Ben Yiadom; both players worked the flanks at pace. Town coped. |
