Tonbridge Angels  3 - 1  Hollands & Blair

Today’s match was played on our reserve pitch at Bredhurst Nursery. Kicking against the wind in the first half TAFC were soon ahead when Liam Baker seized on a half chance and scored from the edge of the penalty area. This galvanised H & B and with the wind at their backs were pressing forward in numbers but TAFC defence and Keeper held firm. It was from a Holland & Blair attack that TAFC won the ball in defence and launched a very quick counter attack with Jim Bergin sweeping the ball into an empty net from 10 yards.

At this stage tackles were flying in and Liam Baker was given a red card for a two footed tackle.

At the end of the first half it was H & B who were pressing forward in numbers and they reduced the arrears with a header from a corner.

Half Time 2-1

Playing a 4-4-1 formation in the second half, it now appeared that TAFC were playing the football and deservedly went further ahead when George Crimmen scored with a rasping 30 yard drive.

Although H & B had the extra man, the TAFC defence held firm for the rest of the game and a hard fought victory.

Goal Scorers:  Liam Baker, Jim Bergin and George Crimmen

Maidstone United 1 - 3  Tonbridge Angels

Kicking up the slope in the first half,TAFC had the better of the exchanges at the start of the half but towards the end of the half Maidstone began to dominate and should have been two goals up but were prevented by two excellent saves by our keeper Nick Browning.

HT 0-0

Playing down the slope in the second half TAFC however found themselves a goal down after just 30 seconds when Maidstone scored with a shot from 30 yards.

TAFC recovered from this set back when Jim Bergin equalised soon after with a shot from the edge of the area and went in front after a scramble in the goalmouth and Nathan Tchie prodded the ball home from a couple of yards.

TAFC went further in front when Liam Baker was fouled on the edge of the penalty area and from the resulting free kick George Crimmen rose to head the ball over the keeper into the net.

Final score 3-1 but TAFC were not at the races and were indebted to their victory by the performance of Nick in goal.

Tonbridge Angels 3 - 1  Maidstone United

TAFC entered this game with 15 players after the signing of Rob Thomas from Chatham Town, kicking up the slope in the first half a 0-0 score line at half time was probably a true reflection of the first half with not many chances at either end.

However, TAFC were soon into gear in the second half and after some exchanges in the penalty area it was Rob Thomas who opened the scoring with a header from a couple of yards. TAFC were soon 2-0 up when Jim Bergin running from midfield slotted the ball home from 20 yards.

TAFC were now in their stride and Jordan Gallagher scored the goal of the match when half volleying the ball into the net from the edge of the penalty area.

After a series of TAFC substitutions Maidstone pulled one goal back when a cross from the wing was headed on by their centre forward and beat our keeper from six yards.

Final score 3-1
