WTFC 4 Folkestone Invicta 1 (Friendly) - 14 August 2010

First off an apology to Dave Soutan as I thought he was Craig White in Tuesday's game. Soutan played again today and shored up the middle of the park with Dan Wisker whose stock is rising by the game. Manager Mark Lane faces a luxury problem: the squad looks strong, but it is unlikely that he will be able to keep everyone. There are some difficult decisions to be made, and rather him than me!

Whitstable look like team reborn. They played some first class football today and could have beaten ...

WTFC 0 Maidstone Utd 1 (Friendly) - 10.08.10

There were also signs of some decent possession football at times here, and win lose or draw, if we play like that, no-one will mind.

Hossick had the first chance on goal for the home side with a decent curled effort from outside the area, but Margate had much of the ope...

Bruce Smith Shield: Whitstable 1 Herne Bay 1 (4-3 pens)

Finally!


 
At the third time of asking, Whitstable finally lift the shield that honours the footballing legend that is Bruce Smith, and even better: his grandson, Louis Smith, played a big part in securing victory (despite his penalty miss). 

 
For me, it was a game of two halves. Herne  Bay had the better part of the first half showing some crisp pass and move. With Seags seconding Simon Halsey in the dug out, Jake Gess in the holding midfield role and Danny Lawrence displaying some trickery...
