It might seem somewhat lazy to admit to arriving at Tonbridge for this pre-season friendly by virtue of overlaying for a 2.30 p.m. kick-off at Ebbsfleet, but such is the lot of a night shift worker.I'm presently composing this posting on a mobile phone due to burglary at home robbing me of both my computers, it really has been one of those weeks.
Conference side Eastbourne Borough ran out fairly comfortable winners but not before the home side had given a good account of themselves for the second successive week against opposition of higher status.
The much travelled Richard Paquette caught the eye in the first half but he was wasteful in front of goal when given a gilt-edged opportunity that Worgan saved comfortably.
The second half was going much the same way as the first until Eastbourne made eight changes after an hour. Ten minutes later, Eastbourne took the lead when Nathan Crabb converted a defence splitting through ball and the game was tied up ten minutes from time when the second of the Crabb brothers, Matt fastened onto a terrible pass across the face of his own goal from teenager Paul Semeluka.
Performances are very encouraging at Longmead, but the worry persists that there is a lack of a cutting edge up front.
