Match Report
Tonbridge compounded an indifferent start to the season by surrendering their unbeaten home record to a Folkestone side with enough ex-Gillingham players to start a Gillingham old boys side. Suffice to say that one of these, Roland Edge supplied the coup de grace with a well taken free kick within a minute of Tonbridge finally equalising. Also appearing for Invicta were Jimmy Corbett, once a £500K purchase by Blackburn Rovers from the Gills, that old warhorse Mark Saunders plus ex-Gills youngsters Frankie Chappell and Leigh Bremner, who led the Tonbridge defence a tidy dance all night, but especially in the first half when Folkestone held sway by the proverbial mile.
Tonbridge took the game to their opponents in a much better second half showing and it was perhaps slightly unjust that the point they had earned was snatched away so quickly. Manager Tony Dolby has not enjoyed universal support at Longmead and I fear that if this season doesn't turn around pretty soon he will come under some pressure. I hope not, he did a good job last term and whilst I appreciate that funds have been made available during the summer, at present he deserves the opportunity to see this job through.
