Aylesford 2 v 3 Tonbridge Invicta — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-04-13 19:12

Tom Willers was the hero as Invicta twice came from behind to grab all 3 points with a 87th minute winner from the leagues leading goalscorer, which also gave him his hat trick. In a very close encounter Aylesford took a deserved lead on 30 mins with a fine chip from the right winger in a very even first period. Invicta were given a strong talking to at hal ftiem and were level within a minute of the restart when Hermitage crossed to Willers and he clamly cut inside the defender and netted his first. Aylesford continued to play and a mistake by Faulkner allowed the home side to retake the lead with the softest of goals on the hour mark. Invicta themselves were gifted a goal when the keepr and defender hesistated and allowed willers to rol the balll into an empty net. Both teams then went for the winner going close at both ends, but with 3 mins plus injury time on the clock, Thompson won the ball in midfield and found Willers who lobbed the keeper to make it 3-2. Invicta had to work very hard for this win and may feel a little fortuitoius to take all 3 points but they showed great character and determination to hold onto top spot. MoM went to Tom Willers for the goals but well done to Jamie Mason who gave an impressive display in the centre of midfield.

MPE 2 v 4 Tonbridge Invicta — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-03-30 18:49

Invicta were made to work hard for this victory over a good footballing side and had their keeper James Faulkner to thank at the break after 3 excellent 1 on 1 saves. A neatly worked goal inside 5 mins gave the home side the lead and acted as a wake up call to the visitors. The equaliser came on 15 mins when Andy whittome won the ball inside his own half fed Hermitage who turned and put Willers through who held off two defenders to chip the keeper. Faulkner then made two terrific saves to keep the scores level. On the half hour Holmes was fouled and Hermitage drove the ball across the box for Thompson to run onto and fire home. The returning Mason took a blow to the head shortly after and had to be replaced at the break after a good half hours display. The second period saw Invicta with the greater posession with Edmeads dominating the middle of the park and Teddy making some positives runs down the left one of which he set up Edmeads who blasted home from 12 yards. The game was effectively closed out when Willers grabed his second after a goalmouth scramble on 70 mins. More chances were created at both ends in the final 20 minutes and MPE scored their second in injury time from a corner. A much improved performance from last week but all areas of Invicta's game will need to be on song when they meet Larkfield in the Cup Final. MOM went to Matt Thompson for an excellent defensive display.

Tonbridge Invicta 7 v 0 Senacre Dolphins — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-03-23 21:19

Invicta would have been happy with this scoreline at the start of play against a side whose results have improved in recent weeks, but the with the visitors only having 9 players for the game, it turned into a farce by the end with Senacre finishing the game with 7 men, after 2 players were sent off for violent conduct along with the Invicta keeper James Faulkner after reacting to being punched and kicked. Credit to the referee and the Invicta players for keeping their control and discipline in such circumstances to see the game through to the end.. Reece Dangerfield opened the scoring and Hermitage and Thompson made it 3-0 at the break. The second half saw Invicta dominate but the quality of the football was poor. Two penatlies were awarded that Nicholls and Holmes finished well with Reece netting his second and Teddy also getting on the scoresheet to make it 7-0. Hopefully the remaining games for Invicta this season can be played against teams wanting to play football.

Tonbridge Invicta 4 v 1 Wateringbury — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-03-09 19:13

Invicta won the game comfortably in the end but were not at their best against a team who played a lot better than their league position suggests and gave 100% effort throughout the 90 minutes. Invicta went ahead on 20 mins when Holmes cleared from his own box before linking up with Hermitage to set up Edmeads whose first strike hit the bar but was quickest to follow up for his 14th goal of the season. It was 2-0 on the half hour when Edmeads put Hermitage through and his selfish pass to Dangerfield saw him finish neatly from 8 yards. Wateringbury pulled one back right on hal f time with an excellent strike from wide left that gave Faulkner no chance. The opening 10 mins of the second period saw Wateringbury push for an equaliser and it was only when Teddy an Josh Poore joined the game that Invicta regained the initiative and when a free kick was awarded for a foul on Teddy, Mase curled in a beauty after 65 mins. The 4th came when Hermitage again proved provider and Teddy shot from 18 yards was too good for the keeper. A good performance from Chris Austin who worked tirelessly in the middle of the park. Overall Invicta had enough on the day but will need to sharpen up for next week top of the table clash v Blue Eagles.

Tonbridge Invicta 2 v 1 Bredhurst Village — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-03-02 20:04

Invicta met Bredhurst for the third time this season and once again it proved a very close game, played in an excellent spirit and for Invicta an important win in their challenge on the MML U18 Div 1 title. Invicta started very brightly and created 3 good chances in the first ten minutes with Dangerfield having the best but blasted over from 8 yards. Poore and Edmeads were seeing plenty of the ball in the midfield but it was the final pass that lacked quality. Bredhurst always looked dangerous on the break, attacking with pace and gave the Invicta back line a really testing afternoon. Invicta finally broke through on 35 mins when Stengel and Hermitage combined on the left and his cross was flicked on by Dangerfield and when Holmes shot was well saved by the keeper, the ball fell to Dangerfield and he netted from 4 yards. The second period again started well for Invicta and when Willers pass found Poore making a deep run from midfield he went one on one with the keeper who made a fine save from his first effort but the rebound fell nicely and Poore tapped into an empty net for his first of the season on 55 mins. Bredhurst kept battling and playing their football and as Invicta could not get a third to seal the win more belief came into Bredhurst and only a fine save from Faulkner denied them a goal from a fine free kick. Further chances followed as the Invicta defence was put under tremendous pressure with Freke, Phillips, Whittome and Stengel all called upon to make last ditch tackles. Finally on 85 mins a goal came with a neat one two and after 4 clean sheets it was Bredhurst who last breached the Invicta defence in the Cup semi final and certainly deserved a goal for their efforts in this game. Invicta held on in the last 5 nervy minutes, for the three points.

Tonbridge Invicta 0 v 0 Larkfield FC — by Tony Hermitage — last modified 2008-02-24 19:31

Todays game was the first meeting of 3 over the next 2 months as this dress rehearsal for the Cup Final had expectations of a tight game, it did not disappoint. Defences were largely on top, with Larkfield looking the stronger in the first period but unable to break though. Whittome, Nicholls, Freke and Teddy did enough to keep Larkfield's superior possession to half chances with Faulkner alert to any breaches in the back line. The second period saw Invicta come into the game more and both Dangerfield and Willers started to threaten with Teddy causing problems by running at the Larkfield defence. The best chance of the game came when Dangerfield unselfishly slipped in Willers one on one with the keeper who made an excellent save to deny a certain goal. A late chance fell to Holmes but again the keeper was very quick off his line to block the shot. Whittome cleared a header off the line and Faullkner had to tip over a fine curling effort late on. A fair result on the day with Whittome and Dangerfield putting in excellent performances. The end result will have suited rivals Castle Colts and Blue Eagles but there is still a long way to go before the title is decided.
