From the <strong>Programme</strong> Editor<br />

A warm welcome to our visitors <strong>Hastings</strong> and<br />

also to the match officials.<br />

Our Secretary John continues to sail the High<br />

Seas so it is left to me once again to do the<br />

welcomes and introductions.<br />

We have lost our way a bit in the last few<br />

games and Chris has explained it better than I<br />

could in his article. Today will be an extremely<br />

difficult game seeing as we were well beaten at<br />

<strong>Hastings</strong> earlier in the season and <strong>Hastings</strong><br />

are very much in with a chance of reaching the<br />

play offs.<br />

Unless there is an avalanche of goals for<br />

Greenwich Borough and against us in the last<br />

three games and Greenwich win their two remaining<br />

games we are now safe from relegation,<br />

as we have a 16 goal difference advantage<br />

on Greenwich and they can only equal<br />

our current points tally. Its now between<br />

Guernsey, Greenwich Borough and Faversham<br />

Town to drop out. Both ourselves and <strong>Hastings</strong><br />

could have a say as <strong>Hastings</strong> finish the season<br />

Home to Greenwich whilst we are Home to<br />

Guernsey on the last day of the season. I<br />

would think that Faversham Town will be safe.<br />

We are of course now playing for pride as we<br />

will want to finish above both Faversham Town<br />

and Herne Bay, the team we play on Easter<br />

Monday at Herne Bay.<br />

This is the penultimate home game and its exciting<br />

times for those clubs in the play off<br />

chase. Cray Wanderers of course have<br />

clinched the title and are now certain to be promoted,<br />

but its not so cut and dry for the play off<br />

winners. The Non league paper tomorrow will<br />

tell you why, but I have done my own investigation<br />

and so you can read in this programme<br />

what a pigs ear promotion is for this season at<br />

our step, step 4.<br />

Also included in the programme is an article<br />

that my wife wrote for the Tunstall Church<br />

magazine. I have been writing a monthly article<br />

for the church magazine for a couple of years<br />

now but this month I handed that honour over<br />

to the wife! She has, I believe, captured the<br />

joys, woes and work in running a non league<br />

club at this level. Alan Pinnegar, the vicar at<br />

Tunsatll is a staunch <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> supporter!<br />

The Bostik leagues charity for this season is<br />

Save the Children and so they have asked all<br />

member clubs over the Easter programme to<br />

have a bucket collection for that charity, so<br />

please give generously.<br />

Don’t’ forget the music quiz at Woodstock on<br />

the 26th <strong>April</strong>. Full details are in the ad in this<br />

programme.<br />

A very Happy Easter to you all and enjoy the<br />

game today.<br />

From the Manager<br />

"Not Good Enough" - is the only message<br />

which can be sent out after our fifth straight defeat.<br />

There can be no excuses here, and nowhere to<br />

hide. Simply put the lads know we have not<br />

been good enough over the past few weeks.<br />

When your low on confidence and the little bit<br />

of luck we all get from time to time just isn't<br />

happening, things can be extremely hard to<br />

take some times. Especially when we are creating<br />

chances at the other end, but for whatever<br />

reason/s a large majority are either going just<br />

wide or hitting the bar/post on a regular basis.<br />

Yesterday, we decided to change things up a<br />

little and start in a very attacking 1-3-5-2 formation<br />

utilising our strengths going forwards. It<br />

was a game I felt we could and should win,<br />

sometimes the best form of Defence is Attack.<br />

Unfortunately, after 15 minutes we had to<br />

change it back to a more familiar 1-4-4-2 as we<br />

were just getting carved open down the right<br />

wing far too easily. Even so, I felt we still had<br />

more than enough to compete and return with<br />

all three points. However, this was just not<br />

meant to be. We have a real issue at present,<br />

this has been a consistent theme all season,<br />

we are gifting goals away to teams through our<br />

own mistakes. If you look at the stats 92% of all<br />

goals conceded since January <strong>2019</strong> have come<br />

from unforced errors. This is an area we have<br />

to address going into next season, as no club<br />

can survive with percentages like these.<br />

Here are some more stats which show a telling<br />

picture.<br />

We have conceded 37 times from 42 games in<br />

all competitions so far this season. We had<br />

kept only five clean sheets in all competitions.<br />

This is why we are in the position we are in.<br />

None of us can hide from the facts. We concede<br />

too many and do not score enough. I<br />

wanted desperately for us to comfortably survive<br />

on our own terms. However, today we<br />

found ourselves awaiting the result of the Gurnsey<br />

v Greenwich match to give us a clearer picture<br />

of exactly what we now have to do to ensure<br />

our league status. Thankfully the match<br />

ended 1-1 which means Greenwich have to win<br />

their two remaining fixtures and we have to lose<br />

all three of ours as well as having to concede<br />

more than 16 goals in the process. The percentages<br />

are with us, the relegation battle now<br />

looks to be between Greenwich/Guernsey &<br />

Faversham.<br />

As it stands this is still not an acceptable position<br />

to be in, the strange thing here is though<br />

that should we win our last three games technically<br />

that puts us inside the top ten, results depending<br />

elsewhere. Its a very strange situation.<br />

So, now we have to focus upon the next three,<br />

and this week we will set the lads their last remaining<br />

challenges for this season.<br />

1. Can we finish the season on a high.<br />

2. Can we win all three games of football.<br />

Right now some would say this is near on impossible,<br />

given our recent run of form, but I say<br />

this is where we will see the true character and<br />

desire of the current group. Can we dig in and<br />

make ourselves hard to beat, three more times,<br />

can we give the fans, the town, the club a finish<br />

worthy of their continued support?<br />

These are the questions each player will be<br />

asked this week.<br />

My apologies to all the travelling fans yesterday,<br />

for us not immediately, going over to you<br />

as you are accustomed too at the final whistle. I<br />

instructed all players to gather around at the<br />

end of the match as I felt so disappointed, I<br />

wanted to talk to all the players there and then<br />

in order to put across my immediate feelings on<br />

what I had just witnessed.<br />

When all is said and done, its 11v11 and the 11<br />

who want it most will succeed. Talk Is cheap,<br />

actions will always speak louder than words.<br />

To the fans, I simply say this:<br />

The lads will you need your support more than<br />

ever going into the three remaining fixtures,<br />

and we know with you behind us, (the best set<br />

of fans in the league by a long shot), that we<br />

will fight for every ball.<br />

Finally I wish you and your family a very Happy<br />

Easter<br />

Chris Lynch


<strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>United</strong>— A Brief History<br />

The present <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>United</strong> Football Club has<br />

existed continuously since 1901 having undergone<br />

three changes of name. One consequence<br />

of those name changes has been that<br />

the club’s history has become inclined to be interwoven<br />

with that of other clubs with similar<br />

names and only recently has its history been<br />

disentangled which is why it may now read<br />

somewhat differently to previous versions.<br />

The origins of the club begin with the founding<br />

of old town side Rock-A-Nore in 1894; however,<br />

five years later they became defunct but in 1901<br />

a new club started-up using the same name.<br />

They won the East Sussex League Championship<br />

in 1907/08 and were to be amongst the<br />

foremost local sides regularly winning trophies<br />

until World War One called a halt to proceedings.<br />

The club has previously played under the banner<br />

of <strong>Hastings</strong> & St.Leonards and, until the<br />

2003/04 season, played under the name of<br />

<strong>Hastings</strong> Town.<br />

The club joined the Sussex County League in<br />

1921 and in their first season finished runnersup<br />

to Worthing.<br />

The club joined the Sussex County League<br />

again in1952 finishing second in Division Two in<br />

the 1959/60 season.<br />

After changing the name to <strong>Hastings</strong> Town, and<br />

in the 1979/80 season, clinched the Division<br />

Two Championship and won the divisional cup.<br />

The following season, the club won the County<br />

League Cup. The 1984/85 season was to be the<br />

last as a member of the Sussex County League.<br />

Following the decision of the then <strong>Hastings</strong><br />

<strong>United</strong> to cease trading, Town applied for membership<br />

of the Southern League and were elected<br />

to the Southern Division. At the same time,<br />

the club negotiated a long term lease with <strong>Hastings</strong><br />

Borough Council for the Pilot Field Stadium.<br />

The 1984/85 season had seen <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />

struggling against relegation from the Premier<br />

Division and it was a combination of the last day<br />

of the season results—<strong>United</strong> beating Welling<br />

<strong>United</strong> 2-1 and Crawley Town doing the U's a<br />

big favour by beating Witney Town - that saw<br />

that Premier Division spot retained by the narrowest<br />

margin. Having done the business on<br />

the pitch, it was to be off-field matters that<br />

caused the demise of <strong>Hastings</strong> <strong>United</strong> in June<br />

1985, when financial problems became insurmountable<br />

and the club ceased trading.<br />

Following the demise of <strong>United</strong>, Town applied to<br />

join the Southern League. Peter Sillett was to<br />

return to The Pilot Field, where he had enjoyed<br />

great success as manager.<br />

Everything fell into place in the 1991/2 season<br />

and they headed the Beazer Homes League<br />

Southern Division table for virtually the whole<br />

campaign, leaving Weymouth, Havant Town<br />

and <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> to fight over the runners-up<br />

spot.<br />

Peter Sillett was dismissed in December 1991,<br />

with the side at the wrong end of the table.<br />

Dean White was appointed as manager and<br />

successfully steered Town to safety.<br />

Town were to play Premier Division football for<br />

the next six years.<br />

Lottery winner Mark Gardiner became involved<br />

with the club at the start of the 1997/98 season,<br />

but success on the pitch was frustratingly hard<br />

to attain and managers came and went.<br />

By the end of 1999, Town were in turmoil, having<br />

resigned from the Southern League, with the<br />

budget slashed, and players leaving, Town<br />

were placed into administration and the Southern<br />

League refused to accept an attempt to<br />

withdraw the resignation. An appeal to retain<br />

Town's Premier Division status was<br />

unsuccessful but a final effort by a local consortium<br />

was to be successful at the very last moment<br />

and <strong>Hastings</strong> Town Football Club was<br />

saved.<br />

<strong>Hastings</strong> Utd — A Brief History Cont<br />

Town kicked off the 1999/2000 season in the<br />

Eastern Division.<br />

George Wakeling was appointed as manager<br />

early in the 2000/01 season, following Dean<br />

White's move into the Nationwide League with<br />

Brighton & Hove Albion. Promotion was gained<br />

to the Dr Martens League Premier Division<br />

football, and the club enjoyed a maiden trip to<br />

the first round of the FA Cup, following a stunning<br />

5-0 replay victory at Conference side Kettering<br />

Town in the final qualifying round. A 1-0<br />

defeat at Stevenage Borough, also from the<br />

Conference, ended <strong>United</strong>'s interest in the competition,<br />

however the club was relegated to the<br />

Eastern Division.<br />

Chairman Mick Maplesden and George Wakeling<br />

resigned at the end of the 2002/3 season<br />

Steve Lovell taking over as manager, and relegation<br />

was avoided.<br />

The club switched to the Ryman League Division<br />

One for the start of the 2004/05 campaign.<br />

After a good start there was a dip in league<br />

form followed leading to Steve Lovell leaving.<br />

Neville Southall was appointed and the club finished<br />

in eleventh place.<br />

The 2005/06 saw Southall and the entire management<br />

team leave. Player Nigel Kane taking<br />

over after sharing the manager role.<br />

The U's began the 2013/14 season as title favourites,<br />

John Maggs was appointed manager<br />

at the end of August 13 but Maggs was sacked<br />

in January and Terry White took over for his<br />

second spell as manager.<br />

Two other managerial changes were made during<br />

the season when results were disappointing<br />

especially as many had tipped the club to be<br />

challenging for a play-off place.<br />

Towards the end of season 2014/15 the club<br />

changes hands when a new board of directors<br />

was appointed. Garry Wilson was appointed as<br />

manager during the close season with Danny<br />

Bloor joining as assistant manager.<br />

Garry Wilson and Danny Bloor stepped down at<br />

the end of the 2015/16 season to be replaced<br />

by former <strong>United</strong> player Darren Hare who had<br />

previously been with Gillingham FC undertaking<br />

a number of rolls including caretaker manager.<br />

Darren rebuilt the squad during the closeseason<br />

with a number of new signings.<br />

After an excellent season which ended with a<br />

play-off semi-final defeat, on penalties, away to<br />

Dorking Wanderers, Darren Hare resigned. His<br />

replacement was Adam Hinshelwood who once<br />

again had to rebuild the side as a number of<br />

players moved on. Adam resigned during September<br />

to take on the managers role at<br />

Worthing FC and was replaced by his assistant<br />

Chris Agutter.<br />

In 2016/17 <strong>Hastings</strong> reached the paly offs but<br />

were defeated 4-3 by Dorking Wanderers. <strong>Hastings</strong><br />

finished in 9th place last season.<br />

Promotion From Step 4 This Season<br />

There is a complication this season because there are 7 step 4 Divisions, (our non-league<br />

step), but only 4 step 3 divisions. 3 clubs from each step 3 divisions will be relegated to step 4,<br />

however only 5 out of the 7 play off winners will be promoted to step 3, (are you still with me!!)<br />

This means that 2 play off winners from the step 4 leagues will lose out. Points per games of<br />

the play off winners will be used to decide who the 5 lucky step 4 clubs will be. The table below<br />

shows the current points per games of those clubs who are currently in the play-off positions or<br />

near them. I have highlighted the Bostik South East Clubs.<br />

From The wife’s Perspective!<br />

First let me introduce myself, my name is Jackie Pitts and I have been married to Peter Pitts for<br />

42 years! He has always been interested in football along with his twin brother John and they are<br />

now both Directors of <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> Football Club, all Directors are volunteers!<br />

As you can imagine that is quite a big commitment every week! That doesn’t worry me…well<br />

sometimes, as he seems to spend so much time in his office in front of the “magic machine” the<br />

Computer, and I think to myself what<br />

can he possibly be doing now! I call<br />

out “what are you doing now?” the reply<br />

comes back ““Putting the match<br />

report on the web”, or “writing an article<br />

for the Tunstall church magazine!!”,<br />

or preparing the match day programme”,<br />

it goes on and on. And then<br />

there is the music he prepares to play<br />

over the PA at home matches as Peter<br />

is also the match day announcer. This<br />

is all without the work that goes on at<br />

the ground by a dedicated team of volunteers.<br />

I have been to matches - both home<br />

and away, and used to help out on<br />

match days when <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> played<br />

at Bourne Park when I was the hostess<br />

for the mascot and their families. I<br />

have to say that the atmosphere can<br />

be exciting, more like one big happy<br />

family, a place of belonging.<br />

Although watching football is not my thing, I do enjoy the social functions that take place, especially<br />

the annual league ball (which sometimes involves a few days at the seaside), and I mustn’t<br />

forget to mention local band Marvellous Mo and the Back Line Ferrets whose lead singer Maurice<br />

Dunk is the chairman of <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> FC and he and the band put on a number of shows at<br />

Woodstock, in support of the club.<br />

Thank goodness though I too have my hobby of horse riding. My passion for horses started as a<br />

teenager and I have been lucky enough to have owned my own horse. I continue to ride locally at<br />

Callum Park after losing my horse some 5 years ago to colic, he was a true gentleman and he<br />

didn’t have a bad bone in his body and at least I had seven happy years with him.<br />

Don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike football completely:- I used to love watching David Beckham<br />

play! Back in the days when he played for Manchester Utd. But now I prefer the six nations Rugby<br />

Union! I think that the top football players get paid far too much and I’m not keen on a lot of<br />

their hair do’s! The rugby players are so big and burly and aren’t worried about their hair!!I don’t<br />

really understand the rules of Rugby Union though but I find the game strangely exciting.<br />

I suppose what I do like about <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> Football club is the fact that it caters for both sexes<br />

and youngsters as well as the main team…and its all run by volunteers!<br />

I hope you have enjoyed reading this and I wish you all a Happy Easter.

<strong>Match</strong> Reports by Tony Rickson<br />

Saturday 23 rd March <strong>2019</strong><br />

Bostik South East<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 0 Hythe Town 0, Att 192<br />

Hythe completed the double over <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

and retain their interest in the play-offs.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> worked hard and created some<br />

excellent goalscoring chances but at the other<br />

end the defence was carved open just a little<br />

too easily.<br />

It was an even start between what looked twowell<br />

matched teams.<br />

On 26 minutes Roman Campbell’s superb run<br />

was finished by keeper Coxall blocking his<br />

shot. The loose ball ran for Timmie Babbington<br />

and though he beat the fallen keeper his effort<br />

was kicked off the line by covering defender<br />

Dickenson.<br />

Up the other end and <strong>Sittingbourne</strong>’s defence<br />

was split between the centre-backs and leftback<br />

for ex-Brickie Sal Kisitu to race into the<br />

area at full speed. Out came Lee, down went<br />

Kisitu, and the assistant referee immediately<br />

flagged for a penalty. From where I was, it<br />

looked a good shout but those closer to the action<br />

were adamant it was never a foul. Top<br />

scorer Ansah converted, though only off the<br />

underside of the bar.<br />

Six minutes later and the defence was split<br />

again, this time through the inside-left channel,<br />

and Tom Carlton, whose dad Paul used to play<br />

for <strong>Sittingbourne</strong>, scored confidently inside the<br />

far post.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> came roaring back and Billy Lewins<br />

looked as though he’d scored but the ball<br />

ran agonisingly the wrong side of the post, and<br />

the keeper made a good save from Chris Barnard,<br />

both chances coming from great play by<br />

the excellent Campbell.<br />

And the Brickies started the second half where<br />

they’d left off with Izzy Adebayo shooting just<br />

over and Barnard also going close, though<br />

when Hythe did get forward Ansah’s shot rebounded<br />

back out off the post. Hythe scored a<br />

third, on the break.<br />

Chances continued for <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> but nothing<br />

to show for the effort.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Patrick Lee, Chris Webber,<br />

Kwasi Amoah, Jack Morrell, Harry Barkaway<br />

(Tom Lawrence, 60 min), Lewis Chambers,<br />

Izzy Adebayo (Liam Middleton, 77 min), Chris<br />

Barnard, Roman Campbell, Billy Lewins (Johan<br />

Saturday 30 th March <strong>2019</strong><br />

Bostik South East<br />

Greenwich Borough 2 <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 1, Att<br />

103<br />

Lex Allan returned and played bravely and confidently<br />

as if he’d never been away.<br />

And that was that for the good news, though, to<br />

be fair, <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> did get better as the<br />

game went on.<br />

Already without Tom Loynes, Tommy Fagg<br />

and Josh Spencer, they were also missing<br />

Kwasi Amoah and Jack Morrell, who has been<br />

a key player in recent weeks.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> got off to a nightmare start with<br />

Roman Campbell, Chris Barnard and Allan all<br />

booked in the first 20 minutes – a couple of<br />

them very harshly. In addition Lewis Chambers<br />

played only two minutes before going off injured,<br />

and to cap it all they also conceded a<br />

poor opening goal.<br />

Greenwich had made the more positive and<br />

intensive start and got their reward when a free<br />

-kick was played to Paul who headed in from a<br />

narrow angle.<br />

The home side continued to have the better of<br />

the play but <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> gradually got a foothold<br />

in the game forcing a succession of corners.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were much more positive at winning<br />

the ball back and controlling the game.<br />

In the second half but they conceded a second<br />

on the break when Harry Barkaway risked a<br />

challenge near the edge of the penalty area<br />

and the home player went down. Walter comfortably<br />

converted the penalty for 2-0.<br />

There was almost an immediate comeback<br />

when Woods beat the keeper with a shot that<br />

was going into the far corner only for a slight<br />

deflection off a defender to send it up onto the<br />

bar.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> halved the deficit when sub Izzy<br />

Adebayo worked his way into space on the<br />

right and pulled it back for another sub, Billy<br />

Lewins, to finish with a neat first-time Effort.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Patrick Lee, Chris Webber,<br />

Rob Lofting (Billy Lewins, 45 min), Lex Allan<br />

(Yellow card), Harry Barkaway, Lewis Chambers<br />

(Johan Caney-Bryan, 4 min), Kane Phillip<br />

(Izzy Adebayo, 60 min), Chris Barnard<br />

(Yellow card), Roman Campbell (Yellow card),<br />

<strong>Match</strong> Reports by Tony Rickson<br />

Saturday 6th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />

Bostik South East<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 1 Horsham 6, Att 182<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were outplayed and outfought<br />

and ended up on the end of a devastating defeat.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> got an early general warning<br />

from the referee for some mistimed tackles –<br />

which Horsham were very quick to loudly point<br />

out – and Kwasi Amoah was booked after just<br />

12 minutes for a foul.<br />

Goalkeeper Patrick Lee made a fine tip-over<br />

save to keep it goalless while at the other end<br />

Lawrence had an opening after a good buildup<br />

and pass by Henry Woods, but his left-foot<br />

shot went wide of the far post.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were playing well at the midway<br />

stage of the first half but went backwards once<br />

Horsham took a 31st minute lead when a freekick<br />

beyond the far post was played back in<br />

across goal and Smith volleyed in at the far<br />

post.<br />

What I thought was a terrible decision to penalise<br />

Adebayo when he seemed to stretch his<br />

leg out and win the ball led to Horsham’s second<br />

goal just before half-time, commanding<br />

captain Brivio powering his header in from the<br />

free-kick despite Lee’s half-save.<br />

Horsham got a third early in the second half<br />

when Smith nicked the ball off two <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

defenders and broke clear to<br />

smash it past the advancing Lee.<br />

In the last 10 minutes, Horsham went to town<br />

and added three more goals as <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

finally succumbed to demoralisation.<br />

Smith got the ball in from a narrow then won a<br />

penalty as Lee fouled him when he was left<br />

clear. The final goal was another Brivio header<br />

from a free-kick, meaning four of Horsham’s<br />

six goals were scored from set pieces.<br />

Somehow, <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> gathered themselves<br />

together to force an injury time corner, and<br />

when Henry Woods swung it into the near<br />

post, the keeper spilled it with sub Billy Lewins<br />

claiming the final touch as the ball trickled over<br />

the line.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Patrick Lee (Yellow card),<br />

Chris Webber, Jack Morrell, Lex Allan, Tommy<br />

Fagg (Yellow card), Kwasi Amoah (Yellow<br />

card) (Khalil McFarlane, 36 min, Yellow card),<br />

Izzy Adebayo (Kane Phillip, 54 min), Tom Lawrence<br />

(Billy Lewins, 59 min), Roman Campbell,<br />

Henry Woods, Timmy Babbington. Subs not<br />

used: Josh Spencer, Johan Caney-Bryan.<br />

Saturday 13 th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />

Bostik South East<br />

Whyteleafe 3 <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 0, att 103<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were missing the influential Gillingham<br />

loan pair Roman Campbell and Jack<br />

Morrell. Joshua Spencer was fit to return after<br />

six weeks out with a knee injury and he lined<br />

up in an unfamiliar back three with skipper<br />

Chris Webber moved from right-back to a defensive<br />

role in central midfield.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> began well, spreading the ball<br />

about and doing a lot of running and pressing<br />

as Whyteleafe tried to play out from the back<br />

all the time.<br />

There was a little to choose between the sides.<br />

Spencer in an unfamiliar left-back role tried to<br />

play a back pass to keeper Patrick Lee but underhit<br />

it and Hector nipped in to take the loose<br />

ball and score an easy goal.<br />

One became two just seven minutes later<br />

when Whyteleafe cut out the <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

back four with a simple one-two, Armstrong<br />

running clear on a neat return pass to score<br />

comfortably.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> manager Chris Lynch immediately<br />

responded by substituting both his disappointed-looking<br />

wide players with like-for-like<br />

replacements.<br />

One of them, Liam Middleton, straightaway<br />

produced the moment of the match, brilliantly<br />

dribbling past three defenders to set up Johan<br />

Caney-Bryan for a chance from which he hit<br />

the bar.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> pressed forward in the second<br />

half and Caney-Bryan, Woods and Lex Allan<br />

all had efforts, Whyteleafe though added a<br />

third from the penalty spot when Spencer<br />

fouled on the edge of the area.<br />

Whyteleafe then had some good chances to<br />

extend their lead.<br />

Caney-Bryan was injured in a heavy tackle and<br />

couldn’t continue and with all three substitutions<br />

already made, <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> played the<br />

last quarter-of-an-hour with just 10 men – their<br />

fans kept singing, though, to provide the only<br />

atmosphere in the ground.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Patrick Lee, Chris Webber,<br />

Lex Allan, Tommy Fagg, Joshua Spencer<br />

(Tom Lawrence, 63 min), Chris Barnard, Kane<br />

Phillip (Abdel Ndew,44 min), Billy Lewins, Johan<br />

Caney-Bryan, Henry Woods, Timmy Babbington<br />

(Liam Middleton, 44 mins). Subs not<br />

used: Khalil McFarlane, Kwasi Amoah.
