Bredhurst Village 1 v 6 Tonbridge Invicta

On a bitterly cold afternoon, Invicta maintained their run of form despite going behind in the 2nd minute to the home side. A small pitch made it diffcult for both teams to find any space in which to play the ball around with both defences having to to keep their concentration levels up as the ball was moving from end to end. Invicta equalised on 12 mins when Dangerfield was alert to ball played over the home defence and lobbed the keeper. Jack Edmeads drilled home on 17 mins to make it 2-1 which settled the visitors. The 3 man forward line of Bredhurst were causing problems and they created two good scoring opportunities before Invicta started to gain some control on the game. Dangerfield missed two good heading opportunities before making in 3-1 on 42 mins after Edmeads and Hermitage combined. Austin made way for the returning Willers at the break and with the wind at their backs Bredhurst pushed on but captain Matt Thompson, Invicta's man of the match alongside Phillips in central defence held firm. Faulkner was troubled with some long throws and twice the home side went very close to narrowing the deficit. Invicta stretched their lead when Huartson burst through from midfield, combined with Dangerfield and blasted home on the hour. Invicta kept up the pressure, Holmes came on for Edmeads and Stengel for Dangerfield, and when Stengel was fouled 30 yards out, Hermitage executed a perfect strike in the top right corner to make it 5-1. The final goal was attributed to Huartson on 80mins after good work from Teddy on the left. In the end a comfortable victory but this game was very much alive for 70 mins and both the finishing of Invicta and determination in defence proved the difference on the day.
