Tonbridge Angels 2 - 3 Rusthall

Angels U15 squad filled in for the Tonbridge U16N team to fulfil this fixture. It turned out to be an exciting game of the proverbial two halves on a fantastic spring day. Angels started strongly and after an early Ed Sharman chance, Jack Leeson went on a mazy run past several defenders to score in the 11th minute. Tonbridge continued to press and from a corner, Sam Wing had a header cleared off of the goal line. After Rusthall had their first chance when a header went wide Jack Parks had two shots which the goal keeper saved well. Then Parks pounced on the ball as Rusthall failed to clear to score Angels second from close range. Rusthall clearly with instruction at halftime to make their extra age count showed their intent after one minute and scored from close in. Angels continued to play and two shots just went wide from Jack Funnell. Tonbridge were unlucky when Brett Milham hit the post after a Jack Leeson cross as he broke the offside trap. The half wore on and the younger Angels players started to tire. Rusthall created opportunities that caused Joe Cullip in the Angels goal to make two great saves. With nine minutes to go Rusthall equalised but Tonbridge still searched for a winner through a header from Sharman and a cross from Gregory Keddy that just eluded the on rushing forwards. Rusthall eventually scored on the break with a minute to go but credit must go to a gutsy performance from the Angels youngsters.
