Kent Invicta League
GLEBE 4-0 FC ELMSTEAD
Foxbury Avenue, Chislehurst
Admission: £5 including Programme: (A5, 16pp)
Attendance: 272 (official)
Coffee: £1.
After 4 weeks without a live match due to work commitments
and illness, I decided to revisit Glebe for their first match under the new
floodlights. Owner Rocky has certainly
made progress at the venue in the last 6 months. From an open field of 2 pitches to a ground
soon to be Step 5 standard with just covered standing and changing room to
pitchside player “tunnel” to complete before end of March. There had been a
fair effort to publicise this match and the result was the 2nd
highest attendance in KIL history. There was a disco and singer booked for post-match
celebrations, with the home side already having one hand on the League championship
following another demolition and ever expanding cushion between them and 2nd
place.
Glebe went in front early on as the right back Clark made
progress down the flank then a great cross allowed Lockyer to place his header
into the corner of the net. Glebe went
further in front on 25 minutes as Alderman turned his marker and let loose a
screamer from outside the box that the keeper could only parry into the path of
Golding to slot home.
FC Elmstead were up against it but put in a better shift in
the second half, having subbed the centre forward who was carrying enough extra
timber to start a bonfire! They played more positive but still no match for the
league leaders, who added 2 more goals in the last 15 minutes to tee up the end
of game fireworks and party mood.
Good to finally meet up with Sussexhopper and his driving
companions from Lyme Regis.
