WTFC 0 Dulwich Hamlet 1 - 08.01.11

Posted by Per Laleng on Sunday, January 9, 2011, In : Ryman League 

To coin the aphorism: she’s a cruel mistress. The Oystermen were undone by a goal in the 92nd minute as Dulwich returned to London with all three points and a 1-0 victory. On the balance of play, especially in the second half, it was an undeserved victory for the visitors – but you got the sense that the hosts would have been happy with a 0-0 draw in the last twenty minutes despite their sporadic yet incisive attacks. That said, the final quarter was testament to an exciti...

WTFC 2 Sittingbourne 1 - 28.09.10

Posted by Per Laleng on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, In : Ryman League 


What a cracking game of football! The visitors had the best of the first ten minutes, but after that, there were chances either end. Lloydy came very close with a header from a corner that he probably should have buried; Cory had a goal ruled out for an apparent offside, but as the ball bounced off the keeper after some pinball in the area, the goal would probably have been disallowed for the handball anyway (the lino on that side had a pretty dodgy first half).

Shaun Smith, who earned his Man...

WTFC 3 Croydon FC 0 - FA Cup Qualifier 28.08.2010

Posted by Per Laleng on Sunday, August 29, 2010, In : FA Cup 


 
These two teams had met in pre-season when Whitstable also emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. However, this game promised something different as Croydon made 8 changes from that which had earlier lost. Alas, the wholesale changes did little beyond confuse the visitors who seemed lost at sea at times and made up for it by getting physical and arguing with the ref. 

Whitstable won the encounter convincingly and the scoreline could have been much greater had Whitstable put away their chances. ...

WTFC 3 Margate 2 (Friendly) - 7 August 2010

Posted by Per Laleng on Saturday, August 7, 2010, In : Friendlies 


 This was a very encouraging performance, and there were signs not only of a re-invigorated team spirit, but a professionalism that has been lacking for a while - exemplified by some really hard-core warmdowns after the game. 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)

Posted by Per Laleng on Tuesday, August 3, 2010, In : Friendlies 
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...
