The overarching view that I brought away from this game is that the SCEFL is not the two horse race that I thought it was. Glebe are more than capable of pushing the illustrious two, Chatham Town and Sheppey United, all the way and the games with those two will be engaging encounters, especially at Foxbury Avenue.
So that be said, two goals down in a little more than quarter of an hour and sometimes clinging on mainly by the fingertips of Aaron Lee Wharton (ALW), Tunbridge Wells did well to maintain a foothold in the game until they kicked down the slope in the second half and became a threat of their own.
ALW was beaten after just 80 seconds when Jamie Philpott, leading goalscorer in the SCEFL, took aim from 25 yards and found the bottom corner for his 10th goal of the season.
The Tunbridge Wells goalkeeper was once more brought into action after seven minutes saving well from Charlie Penny but after constant pressure the home side doubled their lead with a goal of perfect execution after 17 minutes. Philpott was sent clear down the right, outpacing the Wells defence before crossing from the bye line for Aaron Watson to score from close range. The speed of the counter attack defied its Step Five status.
Tunbridge Wells were now under serious threat of getting overrun but slowly they got themselves into the game. George Kamurasi, in the Glebe goal, turned over a Robbie Bissett header from a free kick and Miles Cornwell went close on a couple of occasions.
A great save from ALW from a Penny header kept the scoreline at 2-0 going into the break.
ALW was back in action early in the second period saving from Ainsley Everitt before, with the benefit of the slope, the Wells started to dominate the game. Jon Shea saw his effort deflected over the bar from the head of a Glebe defender whilst Kyron Lightfoot was starting to trouble the home defence, but their efforts came to nothing in terms of the score line.
ALW’s final act of heroics came with five minutes to go when he miraculously saved from no more than a couple of yards at the feet of Sol Baugh.
The game became very tetchy in its closing minutes as first a melee ensued following a tackle from Harry Hudson that brought the Tunbridge Wells player a yellow card and then a horrible challenge from Baugh brought an even more fervent coming together of virtually everyone on the pitch before the referee brandished the red card to Glebe’s Baugh.
The point and the accolades go to Glebe and we look forward to those Big Three encounters with great interest but Tunbridge Wells can certainly draw positives from their resilience on a difficult evening.

As the postponements continue to rack-up for Tunbridge Wells, this hastily re-arranged game offered mid-week semi-professional football, a pleasure barely enjoyed since Christmas. And the game at least served as a reminder to what was missing. A cold night needed a decent game and both sides contributed to forgetting the cold biting at the extremities. The Wells recovered from going 2-1 down after taking an early lead to win the game with an extraordinary goal from Chris Lawal, whose 50 yard free kick from the left hand touchline sailed over the goalkeeper's head and into the net.

Tunbridge Wells came away from Glebe’s Foxbury Avenue with a hard-earned point following a spirited rearguard action against a team featuring ex-Football League players in the shape of Jason Goodchild and Peter Sweeney. Indeed the visitors might have grabbed all three points when a shot from John Shea crashed against a post with the goalkeeper well beaten.
But it was in defence where the Wells earned their reward. Perry Spackman was commanding and, when he was called upon, goalkeeper Jack Bradshaw produced several good saves to preserve his clean sheet.
Jason Bourne made two changes from the side that lost on Tuesday evening to Beckenham. Keiron Tarbie returned to the side and Drew Crush was promoted from the bench with Tommy Lawrence named among the substitutes as was new signing from Herne Bay (a Carlos Valderama lookalike!) Jarrod Trespaderne.
On a bitterly cold afternoon, it took a while for the game to warm up with Bradshaw saving comfortably and Spackman putting in the first of several well-timed blocks.
The first moment of real note came after 32 minutes when Bradshaw saved well, low to his left, from Laurent Hamici.
Tunbridge Wells responded with a shot from Tom Davey that was deflected wide for a corner and another from Steven Ita that was narrowly wide.
Bradshaw was brought into action again making a fine save from Hamici five minutes before the break.
Into the second half and, after nine minutes, the Wells defence got themselves into a mighty tangle but, once more, Bradshaw came to their rescue pushing away another effort from Hamici.
The Wells’ best chance of the afternoon came after 64 minutes when a free kick was only half-cleared to the feet of John Shea whose first time shot crashed against the post with the follow-up from Ita being blocked and finally cleared.
Glebe put in a final effort and a header from a corner was narrowly wide but the Wells defended strongly to thoroughly deserve their point. New signing Trespaderne had an energetic 10 minutes from the bench and Alex Kendall, pushed further forward, also impressed.
Tunbridge Wells now go into a difficult run of games starting with an away fixture at Bearsted next Saturday.

Glebe 1 Beckenham Town 3

Match Report
The game was played to a backdrop of a local firework display that was impressive and worth the entrance free alone and the game on the pitch was not short of the odd incendiary that either.
Now, I’m not heading down the anti-Beckenham road as is commonplace in the SCEFL community but it does seem, whether they are the culprits or otherwise, that a little skirmish is part and parcel of every game. On this occasion, it was Glebe’s Max Fitzgerald that saw red after an exchange of pleasantries with Beckenham’s Al Hassan.
Beckenham have put in two decent performances that I have viewed in the last fortnight at Rusthall and this one at Foxbury Avenue. I don’t think they have the capability of challenging Crowborough or Sevenoaks for the title this term, but they are much improved from last season.
After abortive attempts through a pre-season friendly that wasn’t played in the main stadium to a waterlogged pitch, I was finally able to pay my money to the young lady stationed in her beehive hut. There is a 100-seat Atcost, a covered enclosure behind the far goal and the playing surface looked very good. All very tidy. Whilst I didn’t use the clubhouse, it looked from the outside an excellent and well-used facility.
Friday night football brought a good crowd although my guesstimate was quite a long way in excess of the official given figure of 155.
Beckenham made much of the early running without particularly stretching Dean Nash in the Glebe goal but it was the visitors that took the lead after 19 minutes when a cross from the left found the head of Richard Atkins to glance the ball past Nash.
Shameek Farrell rattled the Glebe crossbar before the fracas that saw Fitzgerald seeing red. What actually happened in unclear, but a Becks player went to ground and needed treatment for what appeared to be a clash of heads before the referee consulted his assistant and handed out his punishment.
If there was any injustice it spurred Glebe into life and a fine run and shot from Brian Zepo into the bottom corner to level the scoreline at the break.
Beckenham quickly got their noses back in front when a shot from the edge of the box from Farrell found the bottom corner.
After 69 minutes the visitors as good as wrapped up the game when a shot from distance was spilt by Nash for Atkins to touch home the rebound.
Beckenham were good value as was the entertainment on the field and in the night sky.

You are told when you a child and fall off your bike, get straight back on. This weekend I should have been in Paris for a classic European Championship Quarter Final with England playing the hosts France, instead I'm at a sports ground in Chislehurst watching a random pre-season friendly with cricket being played on an adjoining pitch. But it's the start of a new season; time to put that disappointment to bed and get back on the bike (metaphorically speaking).
One of the few joys of pre-season (let's face it the football is never great) is getting to grounds outside of the Leagues in which your clubs play; time for the groundhopper in me to tick off a few boxes. Glebe, this season in the newly-formed Southern Counties East Division One, were a good opportunity. Having watched their exciting Kent Invicta Trophy Final back in May in which they won the trophy in extra time against Sutton Athletic and given there were only two choices of matches in Kent, one of which was being played on a 3G school pitch, it was a good time to tick Glebe off the list. Sadly, even that plan ended in disappointment to a certain extent.
Presumably because, at this early stage of the summer, their pitch was not ready to be played upon, the game was switched to the sports field behind their clubhouse. The Old Elthamians Cricket Ground had a football pitch roped off for the match and beyond that a cricket match was in progress. A glance inside Glebe's Foxbury Avenue ground saw a small, but perfectly formed, grandstand and, what appeared to be, a set of brand new floodlight pylons. Everything looked to be in good order and, if anything is needed at all, it would not take much to bring it up to SCEL Premier League standard.
There was no programme or team sheet so the reporting is going to be a little on the sparse side. Glebe dominated the game from the outset and went ahead after 14 minutes with a sweetly struck shot curling into the top corner. After 28 minutes they doubled their advantage when the inside left tucked a shot underneath the goalkeeper.
The second half progressed quietly along with the sound of leather on willow only punctuated by the voice of a frustrated Ian Jenkins, Erith's manager, on the sidelines.
Glebe wrapped up the game with ten minutes remaining when a through ball saw the goalscorer round the keeper and touch it into the unguarded net.
It wasn't Paris, it wasn't even Glebe (that is to be ticked off properly at a later date), but season 2016-17 is up and running.
