 Picture: 2 goal Stuart King: Tunbridge Wells made their second visit to The
Belmont this season, and lasted four minutes before conceding the first goal of
the afternoon. Having been beaten 3-0 in the Kent Senior Trophy back in January
visiting manager Martin Farnie must have been dreading this Kent League
match. The Reds had defender Gary Sayer back in the side
after injury replacing Michael Adcock who dropped to a very strong bench
alongside Micky Lane, Alex Hossick, Sam Prett and Marlon Button.It took just four minutes for the league leaders to
open the scoring as a poor back pass was pounced on by Stuart King who
delicately lobbed veteran keeper Alan Rogers to open the scoring.The home side
continued to create chances with Andy Constable failing to hit the target on two
occasions.

With a rout looking likely it was the lowly
visitors who got back into the game, when after some sloppy defending Ben Hilden
beat Kevin Fewell from close range.The unbeaten leaders were not to let up
however and with two minutes remaining of the first half leading scorer King
added to his tally when he beat Rogers to put the Reds 3-1 to the good at half
time.
The second half started with Whitstable continuing
to dominate proceedings against a poor Tumnbridge Wells outfit and the only
surprise was that it took until the 59th minute before the fourth goal arrived
as midfielder Jake Gess netted his eleventh goal of the season. Marc Seager
introduced striker Sam Prett to the fray and he looked dangerous on his return
to first team action after injury.
With Croydon drawing and Thamesmead losing at
Greenwich Borough the Oysternen have extended their lead at the top of the table
to thirteen points and victory at home to VCD next saturday will put the Reds in
touch of the Kent League championship for the first time in their long
history.
