Fourteen players
this week! It was cold, it was wet, it
was windy, but to a man Burham battled to the end as was also recognised by Aylesfords coach. A
bit more composure and 'luck' in front of goal and a squad now totalling 16 the
season can still be turned around. It
would be very unfair to have chosen a “man of the match” this week.

Thirteen
players this week against another top division team! When we play and play good football we scare
the opposition. 1st 10 minutes and last
10 minutes of the game we scared the opposition. When we switched off in the middle we looked
very mediocre with no players looking to make the difference or a decision,
once again we managed to beat ourselves. As a team they are slowly turning a
corner and fully realise they have to remain focused for the whole of the game
and take their chances when they come.

Burham fought
hard throughout and there were some good individual performances. The numerical
advantage for Maidstone eventually told the story as only 9 players had turned
up to play this week for Burham.

Burham started
well taking the lead with Alex scoring his first goal for the club, a nice
strike from a tight angle. Unfortunately soon after we stopped playing, allowing
Holtwood to go into the interval ahead. Continuing with a similar fractured
performance in the second half the outcome was inevitable. When we work hard we look good, we just need
to sustain that sort of commitment and effort for the whole game.

Another team
with new players got the better of us through our own errors and some
interesting officiating with their manager.
Again we didn't take our chances, but the team performance is improving
all the time.

A game we
could have won and should have drawn, the players insist the ball crossed the
line before their goalkeeper pulled it back.
That said we should have taken the chances on offer throughout the game.
Hollingbournes
4 new players should make them a different prospect for other teams this year.

Drawn against
the top team in the top division, the writing was on the wall. We held them off for 15 minutes of the 1st
half and similarly in the 2nd half, but stopped playing for the last 20 minutes
of each half and were punished accordingly. Vinters scored first
but Tom A brought us level with a superb low shot into the corner of the net
from a good 25 yards. Vinters scored another four
goals in the 1st half and 6 in the second.
Each half was a game of two halves.

It’s very rare for
the parents to see the same game as the manager, well done Jack superb battling
display.
A two goal lead
at half time was not enough in the windy conditions and a panicky disjointed
2nd half display gifted Borough Green Colts a point with an own goal and an
unstoppable free kick. The first half
performance is something to build on, with goals from Stephen’s 25 yard shot
and Tom A beating 2 players and slotting in from a tight angle past the keeper.
2 goals and1point
- Its a start.

A new look team
with 4 new players playing together for the first time made a promising start against
a well organised and committed Leybourne. Individual errors led to the goals but the
overall teamwork was promising and with more effort and confidence in each
other the results may start to go our way.
