 Whitstable Town 3 Dartford FC 3: Towns bright start new campaign:
Pre-season match at the Belmont Saturday 22nd
July 2006: Picture Sam Prett scoered Whitstable's second goal: see More for match pictures
Whitstable struck first as the match, played at a good tempo
in blistering heat was a reasonable test for both sides. The referee had said
before the kick off there would be no rolling substitutions, which so often mar
these early season forays. Both teams opted for a settled side for the first 45
minutes, with Town favourites Sam Prett and Steve Marshall leading up-front. It
was Marshall; who when driving into the opposition box ghosted past two of three
players before upping his pace and striking a well placed left footed volley in
the 22nd minute who scored the first goal of the 2006-07 season. The ?Darts? responded minutes later after some poor
marking by the home side. However Town were back in front after Prett, from good work by Mickey Lane, then Marshall before he
slotted in Towns second. Again the visitors responded this time after a corner was
not cleared and Towns defence played head tennis instead of row z to clear the
ball, new keeper Kevin Fewell was partially unsighted as Darts scored their
second.
