Our first competitive league game ever - it could have gone better...

Our first game of competitive football in Div 2 of the East Kent Youth League didn’t really go to plan. The team went out onto the field in a very positive mood with the intention of starting strongly. Unfortunately we found ourselves 1-0 down within the first 4 minutes. This theme continued and Kennington were 4 goals up at half time, as Whitstable struggled to connect passes and be first to the ball even from our possession. A goalmouth scramble resulted in Rhys having a knock to the head leading to an early substitution which disrupted the team a little (luckily he was ok to return to the game after half time).

Half time gave us a moment to refocus with newly elected Captain, Charlie, trying to rally the troops. However, we found ourselves a further goal down just one minute into the second half, with more to come. Renewed vigour and determination from the Whitstable side in the last 10 minutes of the game resulted in a goal for Blake in the 57th minute (his first for the team), and a long range shot from Ollie hitting the post. Unfortunately by this time the game was over with the final result of 8-1 not wholly representative of the game, although Kennington were a strong and well organised side. Every single one of our players worked hard and we were pleased with their attitude, effort, and team spirit throughout the game.

Joshua was our man of the match, battling hard in defence and never giving up.

We look ahead to our first home game of the season against Canterbury Youth on Sunday.
