Tonbridge Angels 2 Maidstone United 1
Intense is the best way to describe our Over-50’s game at the Yeomans Community Stadium against Maidstone United last Saturday.
United were clearly intent on avenging their Over-60’s team defeat earlier in the season and put up a very feisty display against the resilient Angels team.
The game started in a cagey fashion with both teams displaying good passing ability but this lack of progress upset Maidstone and they gradually started committing fouls and losing control. The Angels maintained their composure and one midfield splitting pass up to Darren Cray allowed him to turn quickly and fire the Angels ahead. With more disruption in the Maidstone ranks, good interplay left Cray free again and he scored his second to leave the Angels 2-0 up at half time.

The second half started with the Angels taking complete control of the ball without really getting any shots in, but the possession play meant our opponents were struggling. A fourth running offence gave Maidstone a penalty half-way through the second half. However, Mark Cornish was once again up to the challenge, diving to his right push the ball away via a post. Maidstone launched a huge complaint saying the ball had come through the side netting but the referee stuck with his decision of no goal.

With Maidstone tempers now flaring the game became frantic. One loose pass led to a Maidstone breakaway and a clinical finish past Cornish left him no chance.
With just breakaways now available to the Angels they took control maintaining possession for the rest of the game to come away with a 2-1 win. This was a great team performance especially as a couple of very late injuries meant a change to the team and player positions. Great credit is due to the lads on this result.
