Meopham Colts 0 - 4  Tonbridge Angels

Tesco Youth Cup - 2nd Round

A comfortable win for the Angels in the 2nd round of the Tesco Cup against a game Meopham side. A great ball from Green saw Hillier open the scoring with an unstoppable dipping shot after 6 minutes. A beautifully waited, cross field ball by Ricketts was met with a powerful shot from Tudor-Pole which the keeper could only palm out for Hillier to tap in for his 2nd of the match. With the back line in total control the midfield was brilliantly marshalled by “Man of the Match” Jones who not only snuffed out any attacks from Meopham but was the cornerstone of the Angels offence. A snappy interchange between Ricketts and Green led to Green scoring with a long range shot. Credit must be give to Meopham for not letting their heads drop with their keeper saving numerous chances in a very one-sided 2nd half. The Angels rounded off the scoring after a corner by Leek was calmly finished by Keens. Ricketts, Green and Jones were the catalyst for a performance that propels the Angels into the next round.


Goal Scorers: Henry Hillier - 2, David Green - 1 and Jack Keens - 1

Man of the Match: Sam Jones - Allround outstanding performance.

Tonbridge Angels 7 - 2  Tunbridge Wells

A straight-forward win for the Angels who were just too good in all areas against a game Tunbridge Wells side. An unfortunate own-goal after two minutes put Tonbridge ahead and though the score was levelled after ten minuntes by a tremendous free-kick, the Angels never looked in trouble. A solid display by the back line with Healy and Greenstock shining, coupled with a "Man of the Match" performance by Leek was the spring board for the blues to launch attack after attack. Tuder-pole scored the next two goals, one from a through ball which was finished with great composure and then a fantastic finish from the edge of the box. Leek opened the scoring in the 2nd half with an unstoppable rising shot. Wells were continually caught cold by through balls giving Murrain and Keens one on ones with the keeper which they duly dispatched. Though Wells finished the stronger in the last ten minutes and got a consolation second, the result was never in doubt. The whole squad contributed in this comfortable win for the Angels.

Goal Scorers: Jeremy Tudor-Pole - 2, Jackson Murrain - 2, Tom Leek - 1 and Jack Keens - 1

Man of the Match: Tom Leek - Skillful creative wing play and strong in the tackle.

Tonbridge Angels 6 - 3  Phoenix Sports

The third meeting between these two sides this season produced the same outcome as before. With the Angels starting fast and on the front foot Phoenix were pushed back from the off. A pressing midfield superbly marshalled by Jones gave the opposition little chance of getting out of their own half. This pressure was rewarded with a corner that their keeper could not hold and was tapped in by Skillen. That seemed to signal a collective switching off by the blues which allowed weak opponents to not only look good but pen the angels in, leading to a pinball like goal to be conceded. When the boys pressed and got there passing going there were some fantastic interchanges with Leek, Ricketts and “Man of the Match” Allen shining. Murrain’s now trademark ‘run onto a through ball’ gave the angels back the lead but again a failure to dominate there own area at a set play saw the score’s levelled. A shoulder to shoulder race with the last defender saw Murrain add his second before the break. Another consistent, skillfull and powerful display by Allen saw him rewarded with a fantastic goal after some of the best one touch passing in the game. The withdrawal of Jones from midfield and standing off, again let Phoenix back in with yet another uncleared corner. Keens settled the outcome and any nerves by coolly finishing off a rebounding shot. Allen wrapped up the scoring in a performance that, when it was good it was great to watch.

Goal Scorers: Conor Skillen - 1, Jackson Murrain- 2, Jack Keens - 1 and George Allen - 2

Man of the Match: George Allen - A combination of drive and creativity.
