Match Report

My neice's engagement party in the evening at Tonbridge Football Club allowed me the opportunity of one of my rare visits to Tunbridge Wells for their FA Vase Qualifying Round tie against Sussex County League Division Two side East Preston, who despite being soundly beaten gave a spirited performance.

Tunbridge Wells could easily have run up a cricket score as they were three goals to the good within the first 20 minutes. Alex Flisher, a loanee from Maidstone United, was too hot to handle for the villagers from outside Worthing. But credit to East Preston, they steadied the ship and managed to pull a goal back before the break.

Flisher completed his hat trick soon after the restart before Jon Philbeam rounded off the afternoon with a couple of goals to see the Wells ease comfortably into the next round.
