Soon after the game turned Foresters way as the visitors were denied a clear penalty with Sawyer being shoved to the ground. The ref waved away Town appeals and within minutes the home side were 2-1 ahead. Town eventually cleared their heads and a lovely piece of skill and shot from Westpfel nearly clawed them level.

Jenner then saved Town as Foresters broke quickly. Finally, Town got a break and a second goal. Town carried on after a disputed throw in and Westpfel netted to give them a lifeline. The goal fired Town and Pelling prodded over a Sawyer corner. Foresters wasted another opportunity after a mistake by Mann before Westpfel bagged his hat trick to draw Town level.

:: Broad Oak & Horam Under 15's 2, East Grinstead Town Under 15's 5 :: back to top Go to the top of the page
Town came away from a difficult test in dreadful conditions with three vital points as their push for promotion back to the A Division gathered momentum.

Town started brightly and a cross whipped in by the lively Fletcher caused panic in the Oak defence before the keeper collected. With their first attack the home side took the lead as a speculative ball deceived Jenner who could only punch the ball into the net. Fletcher thought he had equalised but the referee pulled the play back for a free kick to Town. Mann then shot over before Fletcher took the ball down and fired a left foot shot wide.

Finally, Thiselton equalised as he gave the keeper no chance with a rasping left footed drive. Mann then drilled a shot wide whilst at the other end the excellent Mackintosh tidied up well on two occasions. Thiselton hit the bar with a cross as Town pushed forward towards the end of the half. Oak then gave Town a scare as a goalbound shot came off the bar. Hole blocked the rebound before Jenner finally collected.

Within minutes of the restart, Town went ahead as substitute Westpfel made an immediate impact. He pounced on to a loose ball after the keeper had fumbled a Collins drive and rolled the ball into the net. Town's joy was short lived however as Oak equalised immediately after Town failed to clear their lines. The goal sparked Town and chances fell to Westpfel, Collins and Mann. A Pelling free kick nearly found a Town head before Leggett fired a half volley at the keeper. To Town's relief, they finally got a thired as a Collins cross drifted into the net.

:: Pembury Athletic Under 15's 4, East Grinstead Town Under 15's 5 :: back to top Go to the top of the page
Town made hard work of securing three vital points but the scoreline masked their total domination of this match in which they played their best football of the season so far. An early Hinton drive was collected by the keeper before Mann headed wide from a Sawyer corner. Sawyer was then denied by the keeper after being released by Collins. Leggett was calling the shots from midfield and he nearly got the opener with a shot that was saved at point blank range by the overworked Pembury keeper. A Mann run ended with a shot by Hinton and soon after Thiselton fired wide following a Leggett through ball. Despite Town having all the play, Pembury scored with their first attack of the game. Town didn't panic however and were quickly level courtesy of Mann who calmly slid home following a free kick from Hole.

Further chances fell to Mann and Sawyer before Sawyer lobbed Town into the lead. Town couldn't hold on to the lead however as Pembury equalised from a free kick. Further chances came to the visitors the best of which saw two goalbound headers from Mann hit captain Hole to the relief of the Pembury defence.

Collins then found Sawyer with a fine through ball. His cross was perfect but Thiselton couldn't connect. Amazingly, Pembury equalised again after sloppy defending from Town. Town were then grateful to Pelling and Mackintosh who prevented a fourth goal. Thiselton missed a gilt edged chance for Town but finally they scored again as Coillins released Pleon who kept his head to finish after a fine run in on goal. Town were going for the kill but chances came and went for Collins, Mann and Sawyer. The missed chances looked to have cost Town two points as a penalty brought the home side level. Town are full of character this season however and they were rewarded with a penalty of their own which Collins swept into the net. Pleon nearly made it six at the death but the points belonged to Town.

Mann then fired a shot at the keeper before the visitors sent a snap shot over the bar. After surviving a goalmouth scramble Seal got an unlikely lifeline after sloppy play from Town.

In a pulsating top of the table clash, Town crashed to their first league defeat of the season. Despite the bulk of the possession and numerous shots Town couldn't break down a determined Athletic team who leapfrogged Town into top spot as a result. Captain Hole cleared away an early chance for the visitors but from then on Town dominated the play. A delightful ball from Leggett put Westpfel in but his first time shot dipped inches over.
Mackintosh then set up Westpfel but his second touch allowed the defender to clear. At the other end Athletic hit a shot wide after a loose clearance from Mann.

Mann then had a shot before an Athletic free kick was easily collected by Jenner. Westpfel was then put through but couldn't find the finish. Two strikes from Sawyer finished the half with Town on top.
Coach Leggett went 4-3-3 at the start of the second period as Town looked to spread the play using Pleon and Thiselton. Westpfel cut inside and passed to Collins but his shot went over. Sawyer then released Pleon but Athletic managed to get the ball away. The same two players combined again to force a Town corner. Pleon then set Westpfel free but the keeper denied him the equaliser with a point blank save. As Town pushed forward Crowborough created some chances on the break, the best of which saw Jenner save with his feet. Collins fired two shots over the bar before a magnificent challenge from Hole saved the day for Town. Leggett nearly got in before Jenner produced another good save. With time running out, Town pushed on but Collins and Westpfel couldn't find the finish their hard work deserved. At the death Athletic caught Town on the break to seal an important three points.

:: East Grinstead Town Under 15's 3, Tunbridge Wells Foresters Under 15's 2 :: back to top Go to the top of the page
Town started the year with a hard fought victory which keeps them flying high at the top the table.

Town enjoyed the bulk of the early exchanges but couldn't find the breakthrough their play deserved. A defensive error let in Westpfel but his effort was blocked for a corner. From the corner, Leggett set up Westpfel who blazed over. A Leggett snap shot flew over the bar before Bradley rolled a shot inches wide. Westpfel then released Sawyer whose shot was parried by the keeper. The visitors nearly took a shock lead but captain Hole cleared off the line. This proved to be vital as Town finally took the lead courtesy of Westpfel who battled for the ball before sliding it past the keeper. The goal roused Foresters and they started to press. Jenner turned a shot round the post and soon after Hole again snuffed out the danger. A Hole interception was superbly kept in play by Westpfel who managed to feed Sawyer. Sawyer rounded the keeper calmly to make it two nil. Further chances fell to Hole, Leggett and Sawyer as Town looked to finish the game off.

A poor start from Town at the start of the second half let Foresters into the game and they quickly reduced the arrears. Westpfel was then set free but he coudn't find the finish to calm Town's nerves. Jenner then saved with his legs but coudn't prevent the equaliser. Foresters poured forward as they sensed an unlikely win and nearly went in front after a poor kick from Jenner. The keeper made amends however as he somehow turned the goalbound effort round the post. Gradually, Town cleared their heads and Collins had two chances. A Pleon block to deny Foresters proved decisive as Town broke forward to score the winner from Westpfel. A Collins shot then fizzed wide as Town saw the game out to claim three vital points.

Town hit top spot in the league after a hard fought victory in difficult conditions. Despite having all the early play, chances were few and far between. Sawyer lobbed an early effort over before a Thiselton cross found White who couldn't get any power in his header. After further chances fell to Sawyer, Town finally got the breakthrough courtesy of Collins who picked up a loose ball and lashed it into the net. Town turned the screw and Westpfel and White went close. A screamer from Sawyer made it two which was no more than Town deserved. Mann then set up Westpfel whose scissor kick went over. Bradley then fired a shot just wide before the break.

Town started the second half brightly and a Sawyer drive was nearly spilled by the keeper. Mann then won the ball and set Westpfel free but the keeper collected bravely. Conditions were playing a big part and Town couldn't find a way through the mud. The home side gave Town a scare as they hit the post before fine defending from Jenner, Hole and Hinton saved Town again. Jenner produced another save as Town came under real pressure for the first time.

Town battled back and Collins, Hinton and Leggett all had digs at goal. At the other end, Town survived a penalty appeal as a fine block from Mackintosh saved the day. A goalbound effort was then diverted away by Mann to keep Towns advantage intact. Mann then set Westpfel free but he couldn't find the finish. Hoathly finally got back in the game after a rare error from Hole. The goal spurred Town on and they could have scored several more goals the best of the chances falling to Fletcher. Finally, Westpfel got his goal to seal the points and send Town top of the table.

Town were always in control of this match and despite letting the visitors back in the game the three points took them a point behind the leaders with a game in hand. Pleon set the tone for the first half as he surged at the visitors defence from a Collins flick on. Soon after, Collins latched on to a hopeful pass from Sawyer and lobbed the keeper with a superb left foot shot for 1-0. Town increaed their lead as a Sawyer corner was headed in by Mann. It was all Town and they threatened to run riot. Great play again from Sawyer set up Thiselton who drove wide. Collins was then denied by a defender after good work from Leggett and Pleon gave him a headed chance.

Mann then sent Pleon free whose left footer was saved by the keeper. Town were quicker to the ball across the pitch and drives from Pleon and Mackintosh tested Borough again. Chances continued to come Town's way but Collins, Bradley and Sawyer couldn't get the goal the home sides play deserved. Then, with half time looming Town switched off and the visitors got an unlikely lifeline back into the match. The goal roused Borough and Hole and Mackintosh had to defend well to keep Town's lead intact. On the stroke of half time, the visitors went close again but Town survived.

Town cleared their heads during the break but couldn't find the fluent football from the first half. Collins and Leggett had early shots without testing the keeper. A Pelling through ball was flicked on to Westpfel who nearly got a crucial touch. Town lost keeper Jenner to an injury so Collins took the gloves. Within a few minutes Borough thought they had beaten him but the offside flag was raised. Pleon then set up Westpfel whose shot went over the bar. Finally, Town killed the game as a piledriver from Sawyer secured the points. Sawyer then turned provider as his cross was nearly converted by Westpfel. Fine play from White ended in an inviting cross but somehow Pleon and Westpfel missed an easy tap in. Town finished on the front foot and link up play between Bradley and White released Leggett for a shot.

After flying out of the blocks and taking a five goal lead, Town made hard work of it for the rest of the match but still ran out deserved winners.

Town had an early penalty appeal turned down after a through ball from Mann released Westpfel who was up ended in the box. The Tonbridge keeper then scrambled a Westpfel header over the bar. Pelling then headed wide from a corner before the keeper pushed a Sawyer free kick away. Town finally got the goal as Leggett side footed home from a Sawyer corner. The home side responded with a shot before fine build up play from Town ended with Bradley firing wide. Mann then released Westpfel whose perfect cross was finished by Collins. Leggett then fired over from a Pleon throw in as Town assumed total control. Collins rolled in a third after Pleons shot was saved by the keeper before completing his hat trick with a cool finish. Great play by Pleon then set up Leggett who swept in another. Collins should have had a fourth goal before the home side broke away and scored an unlikely goal. Town came back and a fine weaving run and shot from Sawyer deserved a goal.

After the break, Pleon was denied by the offside flag before a mistake by Jenner allowed Tonbridge to lob in their second. The goal inspired Tonbridge who began to press Town. Mann prevented a third with a last ditch clearance and both Hole, Mackintosh and Jenner made important interventions to ensure the points went to Town. A Thiselton shot near the end was the best Town could produce in response.

Town's second round draw in the County Cup meant they had to punch above their weight to compete with their hosts. Despite the scoreline, Town took plenty of positives from the game. Virtually from the off, Old Town went in front as an overhead kick gave Jenner no chance. It was to be a tough half for Jenner and his defence comprising Mann, Mackintosh,Pelling and led by captain Hole who went on to have an immense game. After another chance for Old Town, Pelling let fly for Town but his shot went wide. Jenner then saved Town as he thwarted a one on one situation before a defence splitting pass ended in a shot which was just over.

Town produced another clinical display to keep up the pressure at the top of the league. It was a real battle at the start of this local derby but Town gradually asserted themselves on the match. Half chances came and went before a Sawyer free kick was flicked on by Collins to Leggett whose shot went over the bar. A goalkeeping mistake then presented a chance to Pelling but he dragged his shot wide. Sawyer nearly opened the scoring with a rasping drive which hit the bar. Finally, Town got the breakthrough as a Pelling through ball split the defence and Collins slotted the ball past the keeper. Captain Hole then set Westpfel clear but he couldn't find the finish. Soon after, Collins produced one of the goals of the season as his long range screamer gave the keeper no chance. As the half drew to a close, Meads had some of their best moments and could easily have reduced the arrears with calmer finishing.
Within minutes of the restart it was game over as Sawyer drove in the third.
A Meads free kick troubled Jenner before a fine Town move ended with a Pleon header into the net. To Town's dismay the goal was ruled out for offside.

The visitors then missed an open goal before Collins fired wide.

Fletcher then turned provider as neat play ended with a Collins shot over the bar. Pleon then nearly slid in the second before Mann produced a last ditch clearance to thwart a rare Langton attack. Further chances fell to Pleon, Sawyer and Collins but as the half wore on, the visitors started to come into the game. Town responded well and substitute Thiselton set up Collins whose run and shot ended in a corner. Thiselton should have made it two from another corner but soon after a pass from Bradley found Leggett who finished in style. Town upped a gear and from a throw in Fletcher nearly got his second. The same player just failed to connect to a Collins pass before fine wing play from Pleon set up Bradley for a shot.

Town then made it three as a sublime pass from Leggett found Collins who rifled the ball into the net. Sawyer went desperately close before Thiselton produced a run and shot. White then flicked on a Thiselton cross but the keeper saved.
