were on the mark for Tonbridge Origin at Pembury Sunday but it was
not enough to stop them losing, 5-3. Chris Mearing (2), Rob Hendley
(2) and Jack Funnell got the Pembury goals.
That was the same scoreline in the Southborough versus Capel Sports
& Social group match. Two goals apiece from Sam Woodward and
Jack Hitching gave the former a 4-0 lead before the visitors pulled

5-1 with Capel notching two late on.

A Shane Blackman penalty ensured Paddock Wood Predators moved back
to the top of Division One with a narrow defeat of Robin Hood.

Town with the visitors stretching away in the second period, adding
further goals through Karl Smith (3) and Michael Powell.
Division Two
All the goals in the Division Two fixture between Armada and
Insulators took place in the first half. After falling behind,
Armada drew level through Tom Bowyer’s header in his 100th
appearance. An Ant Child double put Armada 3-1 ahead and whilst they
conceded again they kept the visitors at bay in the second half. Dan
McGuire and Simon Groves were the Insulators marksmen.

contenders Green St Blues. Richard Donaldson gave them a half time
lead with Tom Welch (2), Donaldson and Kevin Everest on the mark in

goal.
It was the same scoreline at Speldhurst Rangers where the hosts beat
Robertsbridge Rovers.
Todd Tolhurst got the winner for Black Horse as they won by the odd
goal in three at Brown Trout. The visitors had taken the lead on
eleven minutes through Ryan Dilnot only for the Brown Trout to draw
level via Craig Walsh.

coming out on top at Tornado’s thanks to Matt Adams (2), James
Cooper, James Bodkin, Leon Mellett and Tom Fowler. It was 4-6 at the
