This was a game that Town should have won but ended up losing it to a late goal in the 88th minute.
After an even start, it was Town who created the first chance when Grant Rigler had his first shot saved and the second cleared from the line. Against the run of play the visitors scored but this spurred the wasps on and they dominated the last 10 minutes of the half. The equaliser eventually came in the 44th minute when Steve Major was put through and beat the keeper from close range.
Immediately from the kick off Town switched off and conceded again and the score was 2-1 at half time to the visitors.
The second half was all Town with a much better tempo to the game. However, chances went begging and Town also hit the post and the bar. The introduction of the two subs, Clark-ward and Gates, lifted the team and they deservedly equalised when dean Coomber's header was met by Matt Gates at the near post, who headed in. Town still had chances and time to win the game but that little bit of luck was not with them. They then fell for that sucker late punch which meant Town were denied any points from the game.
Team : Stratton, Cooney B, Pelling,Johnston, Tadman, Knight, Foyle, Coomber, Rigler, Major, Blundell
Subs Used : Clark-Ward and Gates
A disappointing and lacklustre performance by the Reserves saw them kick off the season with a defeat to Chipstead.
It was a game of few opportunities for both teams, with the only goal in the first half coming from the penalty spot after a blatant push in the box. Town had gone close in the first half, from a Steve Major free kick and a Sam Fildes shot but chances were sparse. The second half started with Wasps best spell of the game and for twenty minutes they controlled the game without carving out any real chances. Chipstead extended the lead by way of a free kick on the edge of the box after 70 minutes and scored a late third..
Team : Collier, Tester, Coomber, Wooley, Cooney B, Johnston, Fildes, Tadman, Rigler, Major, Clappinson
Subs Used : Knight and Collins
