It was more than the weather that sent home Tunbridge Wells supporters miserable after yet another home defeat. The weather was lousy, an incessant drizzle became a full drenching; the onfield fare was a whole lot worse. Those that have watched the Wells away from home, at least since Christmas, must be wondering if it is the same team that turns up at Culverden.

It is true that Glebe came with a superb run of form and, from a personal point of view, it was good to see Scott Kinch still strutting his stuff at the grand old age of 37 and there were not many better out there on the night.

Glebe took control of the game from the 10th minute when a left-sided corner was headed down for Sam Edwards to tuck in from close range.

The game was hardly captivating which was a shame as it needed to be a distraction from the elements. Tunbridge Wells first shot on goal came from the penalty spot after Luke Miller was adjudged to have handled. Jamie Humphris sent Alex Catana the wrong way to equalise.

It did fire a little life into the home side, and the game in general, with Humphris flashing a pass across the face of goal that deserved a touch. But the Wells momentum was quickly stopped in its stride when ex-Wells striker Jack Harris was allowed to squeeze the ball home when given too much time in the six yard box.

Tunbridge Wells threatened early in the second period with Josh Biddlecombe testing Catana and then turning a free kick wide but Glebe put the game to bed with 20 minutes remaining when substitute Henry Adeniran firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the box after the visitors had been allowed to pass the ball from the left side of the penalty area to the right without so much as an interest from the Wells defenders.

A dismal night when the final whistle was the only saving grace.
