In the opening exchanges both sides battled hard for dominance in the middle of the park, with Harrison Smith and Chris Neighbour working hard to push Whitstable forward at every opportunity. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> Whitstable took the lead after fifteen minutes when from a Chris Neighbour’s corner; Joe Hancock’s superb header from twelve yards flew into the top right hand corner of the net giving the Margate keeper no chance. However Margate drew level ten minutes later when they scored from a direct free kick from 25 yards despite Kieran Atkinson’s best efforts in the Whitstable goal. The score line of 1-1 at half time was a fair reflection of how the game was being played. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> The second half followed the same pattern of play as the first, however it was Whitstable again who gained the upper hand when Jack Clements found Harrison Smith whose through ball put Callum Leary clear of the Margate defence and his precise finish gave the keeper no chance. Margate had no option but to push forward but found Clements, Coles, Appleton and Cross in the Whitstable defence in determined mood, which limited Margate to two chances, one of which was produced a good save from keeper Atkinson. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> This was a great start to the season for Whitstable, who deserved the victory through their level of commitment and desire shown in the game. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--> Team – Atkinson, Cross, Coles, Clements, Appleton, Neighbour, Smith, Berry, Sellens, Leary, Hancock, Kehoe, Elysee |
