Whitstable Town Reserves produced one of their best performances of the season to absolutely demolish the Second Division league leaders in this first leg cup semi-final. Whitstable were very wary of the threat that Folkestone could cause them after three very close and competitive games last season.The first ten minutes belonged to Folkestone as they came out and attacked Town from the off but Town held firm. Town, probably against the run of play at this point took the lead after good work by skipper Shane Davies saw midfield maestro Jake Gess thread a ball through for winger Darren Bridges who ran onto his pass and fired a great right footed shot across the keeper to put Town 1-0 up.

Make or break time?
The run in to the finishing tape starts in earnest this weekend as Whitstable Town travel up the line to Park View Road to face an in form Erith and Belvedere side. The Deres have a different look to the side that took the honours at the Belmont way back in October, fresh faces being brought in by Wayne Brown to consolidate a team that seemed intent on self destruction. The turn around has brought twenty points from the last eight games and Wayne 'Manager of the Month' for February. The Oystermen should take note that the six wins have been by a single goal margin and that the Deres still have the worst goal difference in the top six. Whitstable are on a run of nine away games without defeat and have an away goal tally nearly twice that of the Deres home goals total (32,17). An interesting match in prospect and an important one that could make or break the season for both sides.

VCD halt Towns unbeaten run: WTFC 0 v VCD 2 Kent League: The Belmont Ground 11^th March 2006:The ?Vickers? finally halted Whitstable?s 13 match unbeaten run in the Kent League stretching back to last October with goals in the first and second half after Marc Seager?s side slumped to their worst display at the Belmont for over two years. Unable to muster a single shot on target in the whole of the 90 minutes they struggled in all areas on a heavy surface, the match in doubt until an 11am inspection by a local referee passed the pitch fit for play.That the visitors coped better on the surface did little to gloss overt the fact that Town were 2^nd to the ball time in almost every challenge, when they did have the ball they either surrendered possession with alarming ease or simple passes went astray giving the ball straight back to the opposition.

Game Off?After a referee?s inspection at 3pm today:  this evenings Reserves Cup Semi Final is OFF. Bruce Smith saying: ?According to the rule we are duty bound to call in a referee, he took one look and agreed that the match could not go ahead. Yesterday, although it was still sticky from the weekend, it was playable and we were determined to get the game on. Given the amount of rain today on top of already wet surface, we had no choice but to call it off.?  

Foley bust the Oyster Bubble?WTFC 0 VCD 1 Kent Cup: The Belmont Ground 4^th March 2006  After the euphoria of a good league performance last Saturday against erstwhile League Champions Maidstone, it was a below par performance by Marc Seager Whitstable Town as they went out in the semi final of the Kent Cup to VCD. The ?Vickers? came to the Belmont full of confidence after a great run this season in the F.A. Vase when they reached the last sixteen; a feat Town achieved some years ago; going out away to North Ferriby by the single goal. Today, it was Paul Fowley?s perfectly judged header early in the second half, which saw Town, falter within touching distance of silverware loosing by the single goal.
