Tunbridge Wells crashed at Faversham, despite being the better side during a first period in which Benji Agana and Carl Cornell fired their side into a two-goal lead.

Faversham pulled a goal back before the break, but The Wells still lead at half time. It was all change in the second period though as the league leaders smashed home five goals to win 6-2.

"Faversham certainly showed on Saturday why (in my opinion) they are Ryman bound," first team manager Martin Larkin summarised following the game. "We had a gameplan and we executed it perfectly for 43 minutes, taking two well-taken goals all from working the ball wide through switching the play quickly to take advantage of how narrow they play. But Faversham's set-plays were so strong - all six goals game from four corners and two free kicks, all first or second phase: great delivery and great movement!

“We could go on all day about being without Perry Spackman and Tom Davey (our two best defenders of set pieces), but we won't make excuses - we simply couldn’t handle Lee Shearer and the delivery from their set pieces.

“We have to take positives, and the fact is we did control the first half, we scored two good goals, scored directly from the game plan we put into place at training on Thursday, and we didn’t allow Faversham a single shot on target from open play - something the back four should be very proud of.

“Perry and Tom will return for next week, and Brad Draper is not far away - but we need to start playing for 90, not 45 mins. The foundations are certainly there for all to see.”
