Tough test overcome

Whitstable Town Reserves 1 Thamesmead Town Reserves 3

Against a side that had defeated the Reserves on both occasions last season, this was always going to be a tough game and so it was to prove.

A first half goal from Dave Batt, saw them go in 1 - 0 at half time. A first for a very long time by captain Scott Lewis and another by Dave Batt, saw them take a 3 - 0 lead midway through the second half and although Whitstable got one back late on to set up a nervous finish, the Reserves returned home with 3 very well earned and deserved points.
