Match Report
Another disappointing first hurdle exit for Tonbridge as they departed the FA Trophy, a competition they had graced last season and included their fine win over Conference side, Oxford United.This afternoon, everything was so flat. The only atmosphere in the ground was generated by a noisy, enthusiastic following from Ramsgate. Whether Tonbridge supporters are now inhibited by the comments from the chairman regarding bad language, I don’t know, but there was a distinct lack of support for the side.
A post was hit by Carl Rook in a lifeless first half in which Tonbridge created the best of the chances. The second half was only three minutes old when the home side were given the softest of penalties for hand ball following a long throw by Leon Legge. Rook converted as the keeper guessed right but failed to save.
Tonbridge should have taken the game on from this point, but it was Ramsgate that took the initiative and they bounced back with three goals in 25 minutes, much to the delight of their passionate support. The front two of Stefan Ball and ex-Angel Jay May edged them in front before a absolute screamer from Andy Hadden wrapped it up.
In what was already an odd game there was still time for the Ramsgate keeper, Danny Twyman, to somehow manage to punch the ball into his own net to give Tonbridge a couple of minutes of hope.
Time to concentrate on the league and rid themselves of the inconsistency that has dogged this season so far.
