It is July, it was cold and it was wet and it finished 0-0, what is there not to love about a preseason friendly.

The point of visiting Hollands & Blair for this particular friendly was to see how the ex-Tonbridge Under 18s are settling in to their new environment. As it transpired there were less on view than I expected with Louis Lawlor and Lewis Mitchell sharing the goalkeeping; Jack Fenton and Jack Bray in midfield with Ziyad Ghali on the left wing.

Unfortunately it was a proper 0-0 draw with very few scoring opportunities, the best of the first half falling to Margate's centre forward who squandered a real sitter.

Sadly, the game actually got worse and the final whistle was one of relief to all concerned.
