Tunbridge Wells supporters are nestling in their own little corner of heaven at present. Two League wins and FA Cup progress, scoring 10 times without reply in the process and heading up the fledgling SCEFL Premier table. With Covid-19 worries growing by the day, it’s no wonder they can joke about ending the season now!

Another decent attendance of 208 had made their way though the Track and Trace and Temperature protocols and they didn’t have to wait long to see the home team take the lead. Euan Sahadow broke down the left but saw his effort saved by the advancing Bearsted goalkeeper’s legs only for the ball to rebound to Matt Day who passed the ball into the vacant net.

Bearsted settled down after the early setback and created chances for Harrison Hatfull (great name for a striker!) and Jon Rogers, whose second effort was saved by the feet of Tunbridge Wells’ keeper Aaron Lee-Wharton.

The Wells increased their lead on 34 minutes when a free kick from Jordan Wells was met by a near post header from Robbie Bissett.

Bearsted worked hard to find their way back into the game with Joran Ababio denied by a superb saving tackle from Bissett and David Baranonski firing wide.

An injury just before half-time to Baranonski led to a lengthy delay before the referee decided to call time on the first half. The break had nearly been concluded before the injured Bearsted man was stretchered away.

The second half was a strange affair as the game drifted rather aimlessly towards its conclusion before substitute Josh Froggatt scored two late goals to add a flattering scoreline. The first converting from close range after some impressive play from Regan Corke and, four minutes into time added, curling a shot into the bottom corner.
