As I go about the business of squeezing the pips out of season 2017/18, the Suburban League and its inability to get games played through the harsh winter has given those of us looking for the extension places to go. This will be the second of three consecutive Tunbridge Wells' Suburban League games as they wind up their season on Monday with another home game against Chatham.

It is a shame that the Suburban League does not carry huge amount of midweek fixtures leaving these season's-end oddments to catch up with how good or bad these respective teams might be.

Molesey, who have enjoyed a decent season finishing third in the table, were ahead in the very first minute when a shot from Ayomide Majekodunmi took a heavy deflection to wrong foot Callum Hampson.

Tunbridge Wells equalised when a cross from the left was headed down by Bayley Colbran to Matt Coleman to score from close range.

Their parity didn't last long when a poor clearance only found Ezra Nelson who fired from the right side of the box into the bottom corner

Into the second period and Tunbridge Wells might have got their second goal when a shot came back of the post to Janai Riley but the ball got stuck under this feet and the chance was lost.

The Wells lived dangerously as Ezra had an effort well saved by Hampson before seeing a shot strike the underside of the bar.

However, Molesey went 3-1 in front when Eric Nwaogwugwn was afforded time and space to turn and strike from around ten yards.

The best was saved for last when, eight minutes from time, Nelson fired in a worldy from 35 yards on the angle into the top corner. Culverden has seen two such efforts in the last two games, sadly they both game from the opposition.
