Match report: Whitstable Town 3 Tunbridge Wells 0 Otr Final tie in the Lea-Ray Kent Senior Trophy

Whitstable Town welcomed Tunbridge Wells to Belmont Road for the Quarter Final tie in the Lea-Ray Kent Senior Trophy. Marc Seager gave a full debut to Centre Half Dan Tanner and recalled Andy Constable to the front line at the expense of Steve Marshall who was on the bench.  On a pitch which held up well despite the continued drizzle the home side soon tested debutant Wells keeper Glen Winter-Nolan through Tommy Martin with the keeper recovering well to push the ball away for a corner. The home side did put the ball in the net after Andy Constable deflected the ball in only for the linesman to raise his flag for offside.The first half continued in a very even manner with neither keeper really being tested.   Tunbridge Wells came out for the second half enjoying their best spell of the game with Jimmy Carter always looking a threat in attack.   Picture WTFC Andy Constable: It was however the home side who broke the deadlock on 62 minutes when recalled striker Constable headed the ball past Winter-Nolan to the delight of the home supporters.  Four minutes later the tie was almost over when Constable scored his second of the game.   The Oystermen were safely home in the 82nd minute of the game when Jake Gess capped a competent display by the Reds by netting a third to complete a 3-0 scoreline.   With West Wickham somewhat surprisingly defeating Hythe 4-0 the side from the Southern Amateur League willl be the Semi Final visitors to Belmont Road. However i urge all football supporters to get to The Belmont for next weeks top of the table clash with Thamesmead Town Kick Off 3pm WTFC MARK WYER (c)
