Best part of a fortnight without a game and this friendly at Tonbridge with two clubs with an interesting back story was tempting.
Sands United are a club that is set up for fathers and other bereaved family members who have lost a child to come together through a shared love of football. The team also commemorate their babies' all too brief lives by proudly displaying their names on the kit worn for every match.
SE Dons are a Sunday League team that have become a YouTube sensation boasting thousands of supporters worldwide and regularly drawing four figure crowds to their matches in the Orpington and Bromley Sunday League. The club has ex-Southend striker Andy Ansah as their chairman and his son Zak is a team member.
Sands held out well in the first half with just a 13th minute goal conceded but two goals just prior to the break gave SE Dons a comfortable half-time lead.
Two goals in a mminute on the hour mark made is 5-0 for the south Londoners and two penalties took the score to 7-0.
The result was far less important than the cause.
