The Kentish Observer Kent League next week, ending 22nd Oct. by Peter Albin
VCD's draw at Erith Monday night took them to sixth spot and on Wednesday night Maidstone are at home to Tunbridge Wells. Winning their game in hand over Thamesmead would put them in second place just three points behind Beckenham Town. That top three have contrasting fixtures on Saturday. Beckenham are at home to 15th placed Greenwich Borough, Stone's away to a very variable Sporting Bengal and Thamesmead have a tough trip down to Deal Town. Other league games of more immediate interest to Whitstable will be Erith Town versus Erith & Belvedere, improving VCD against unbeaten Lordswood and the Slade Green game, hosts this week to Tunbridge Wells. The remaining fixture is our local rivals Herne Bay who are at home to a struggling Hythe Town. A half of the KOFL Premier sides will have played ten games by the end of Saturday, a third of the season already gone, and the prospect of poorer weather after this Indian summer will, no doubt, throw a few spanners in the works for some. Just three weeks ago the league title was Beckenham's for the taking, with the gap narrowing this no longer looks a certainty. Last Saturday's drawn match means Maidstone and Thamesmead have still yet to lose a game, and they won't meet the current leaders until December. With a packed midtable (a five points span from 4th to 11th place) not too far behind them no one can be sure of the outcome from this season. Come on you Reds! Peter Albin, 18th October 2005. |
Whitstable Town travel to bottom club Sevenoaks on Saturday (22nd). With just one point from seven games Sevenoaks will be more than anxious to get something from the game. The fixture may just come at the right time for Town who have had an inconsistent start after a good pre-season. The team will be looking to get back to winning ways ahead of next weeks home FA vase game against Wessex League Division One's Andover F.C. Meanwhile, this Saturday at the Belmont, the reserves will be playing Bromley in a KOFL Division 1 game.| < Prev | Next > |
