After the excitement of the amazing 5-4 victory at
Deal on Tuesday Kent League leaders Whitstable Town welcomed Beckenham Town to
The Belmont. With both Gary Sayer and Gary Carter ruled out of
the side Michael Adcock came in at right back for his first start since the 1-0
win over Erith Town in November. In attack Andy Constable returned at the
expense of John Akinde who was on the bench.
All praise to the groundsmen for getting the game on, however on a very heavy pitch the game was never going to
be one for the purist especially with the visitors putting in some strong early
challenges. Forner Town defender Christian Barrett and fellow centre half Steve
Mackenzie were dealing with most of the balls into the box quite
comfortably.
The home side mustered a couple of good chances
during the first period with Tommy Martin having a high cross well saved by
Grant Hall while the best chance fell to Constable only for the big striker to
head wide with only Hall to beat.
The deadlock was finally broken on 43 minutes when
a superb run from Marcos Perona down the right wing saw him place the ball over
Hall and into the net for the midfielders fifth goal of the seasom
The second half started with Beckenham having a
shot from Wade Falana comfortably saved by Kevin Fewell which really summed up
the visitors goal attemps during the game.
Influential midfielder Jimmy Strouts tested Hall
from long range while Stuart King was his usual busy self without really having
the opportunity to add to his impressive goals ratio.
The points were made safe in the 74th minute when
Perona sent a superb ball through to Constable who stroked the ball past Hall to
send the impressive crowd of 212 into raptures.
The Reds are now ten points clear at the top of the
table and visit bottom of the table Sporting Bengal in their next league
fixture.
