Thamesmead Town  2 - 2  Tonbridge Angels

Angel’s U15 travelled to Thamesmead Town missing four of the squad. It took around fifteen minutes for Angels to settle but they started to create several chances through Ed Sharman, Matt Green and Brett Milham. However it was debutant Ben Alldis who broke the deadlock as good work from Jack Leeson and Mikey Foreman allowed him to drill the ball into the right hand corner of the net. Angels continued to dominate but a lack of concentration allowed Thamesmead to equalise on the stroke of halftime. In the second half Tonbridge again played neat football and got their reward when Sharman coolly finished 11 minutes in. Angels did not look in trouble and created several good chances. However another loss of concentration meant that Thamesmead again equalised, this time with the very last kick. Final score 2 v 2.

Goal Scorers: Ben Alldis and Ed Sharman

Tonbridge Angels  3 - 2  Bromley

With all but one player available the Angel’s U15 squad looked strong and in the main dominated last year’s runners up. With four minutes on the clock Brett Milham was up ended and goalkeeper Lewis Carey converted the penalty. For the next 25 minutes Angels had the better of the play but a mix up in defence allowed Bromley to pull level. Angels lost their way and a lack of concentration allowed the visitors to take the lead into halftime. Four minutes into the second half a strong run by Jack Leeson released Ben Alldis who found the corner of the net. Angels continued to create chances through Sharman and eventually got their reward. After a spell of pressure the ball lobbed out towards the penalty spot and Sharman volleyed leaving the Bromley goalkeeper with no chance. Well done to all the squad. Every person played their part in this victory. One footnote, unfortunately one of the Bromley players broke two ribs when the ball struck him. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Goal Scorers:  Lewis Carey (Pen), Ben Alldis and Ed Sharman

Cray Wanderers  0 - 3  Tonbridge Angels

An already depleted squad and playing with four others not 100% may have been the reason why Angels turned in their least impressive performance of the season so far. Against a top side Angels might have been punished however overall to not play well and win comfortably, is a good sign. The game was two minutes old when a Jack Leeson ball resulted in a cross from Mikey Foreman which Ed Sharman converted from close in. After Cray hit the post it was Sharman’s turn to rattle the woodwork as Angels could not quite make their superiority pay. It wasn’t until the 34th minute that Tonbridge had another meaningful chance when Leeson forced a finger tip save from the Cray keeper. In the second period Angels got an early wake up call when two Cray chances went begging. But within five minutes Tonbridge doubled their lead as Milham and Foreman combined. The cross sweetly met by the head of Gregory Keddy. Angels looked more assured and when Milham went on a run he cut back inside and riffled a shot into the corner. Next week Tonbridge are in cup action against Welling. This will be the stiffest test to date and a barometer to see if they can compete with the best.

Goal Scorers: Ed Sharman, Brett Milham and Gregory Keddy

Welling United  5 - 3  Tonbridge Angels

Challenge Cup Round 1

This cup game was end to end excitement and was made more difficult by a strong wind. Angels kicking against the wind in the first half struggled to get going and found themselves behind in the eleventh minute. Tonbridge hit straight back when a Charlie Slocombe cross went over the goalkeeper in to the net. A good run and cross from Ed Sharman allowed Mikey Foreman to finish from close range putting Angels in to the lead. However five minutes before half time an unstoppable shot helped on by the wind provided the equaliser for Welling. Early on in the second period Jack Leeson hit the bar for Angels. However 10 minutes later Welling took the lead through a penalty. Angels pressed and eventually got their reward 10 minutes from the end when a Leeson throw found Sharman whose cross was met by Foreman to draw the game level again. Both teams played three up front to try and force a result and just as everybody was getting ready for extra time a cruel deflected shot gave Lewis Carey no chance in the Angels goal. The final goal followed quickly to seal the result but Angels can be confident from seeing the new improved Welling when they meet in the league fixtures.

Goal Scorers: Mikey Foreman - 2 and Charlie Slocombe - 1

Tonbridge Angels  3 - 0  VCD Athletic

This was a top versus third encounter with both sides unbeaten in the league. Angels started brightly and Ed Sharman broke through after 3 minutes forcing a good save. But within two minutes Angels were one up when a Mikey Foreman and Sharman combination created an opening that Sharman finished from close range. Angels generally maintained control for the remainder of the half however the only real chance was a Jack Leeson header tipped over by the goalkeeper. Ben Alldis came on at half time and immediately made an impact when he released Foreman. Foreman’s first shot hit the post but he made no mistake with the second. After another ten minutes Alldis hit a rasping drive just over the cross bar. By midway through the half Angels were three up when after good work on the left by Sharman he sent a pin point cross to Foreman who made no mistake. Matt Green was making a nuisance of himself and had a chance to extend the lead but it would not quite fall for him. Tonbridge just started to loose concentration at the end but overall this was an excellent performance by every member of the fifteen man squad and sets them nicely for the winter ahead.

Goal Scorers:  Mikey Foreman - 2 and Ed Sharman - 1
