Tonbridge Angels  5 - 0  VCD Athletic

With the news that our goalkeeper had injured himself on Saturday we did not enter the game with high expectations after losing to VCD in late November. However with Liam Baker playing in goal in the first half and playing up the slope, it was TAFC who came racing out of the blocks and deservedly took an early 2 goal lead.

From a corner Gary scored with a side footed volley from five yards and Dan scored with a rasping 20 yard strike from the edge of the box. To be honest TAFC should have increased the lead even further but VCD came back very strongly towards the end of the first half and Liam was asked to produce two first class saves.

The half time tea talk seemed to have the desired effect on TAFC with Dan replacing Liam in goal and TAFC scoring twice early in the second half. First Jack scored after a mix up the visitors defence and poking the ball home from 15 yards and then straight away Jack had a shot that came off the crossbar and rebounded to Nathan for him to place into an empty net.

To their credit VCD did not give up but Liam finished the match in style with a shot from inside the box.

The score line probably reflects an easy game but it was far from easy as VCD were a competitive team. Full marks to all our players - it was good to keep a clean sheet and for 5 individuals to score, a true team effort.

Goal Scorers:  Gary Thomas, Dan Knights, Jack Brivio, Nathan Tchie and Liam Baker
