ANGELS ARE REWARDED FOR THEIR PATIENCE

TONBRIDGE ANGELS 2 WHITEHAWK 0

LEAGUE leaders Tonbridge deservedly took the points but they had to keep patient against a dogged Whitehawk defence.

Tonbridge enjoyed long periods of possession in the first half but created relatively few genuine chances in a game where Whitehawk had clearly come with a well-organised defence.

Much of the attacking from the home side came down the right flank through Jared Small and James Folkes.

It was a cross from Small in the 25th minute with a Joe Turner header tipped over by Melvin Minter that probably was the Angels best chance although just before half-time Alex Read had a one on one saved.

There was little attacking from the away side although there were two decent efforts from Nathaniel Pinney

The second period continued in much the same vein with Tonbridge continuing to ask the questions down the right-hand side.

In the 70th minute Whitehawk survived a huge goalmouth scramble but moments later a teasing cross from Folkes on the right saw Matt Drage put the ball into his own net in the 79th minute.

The game was made safe for the Angels in the 90th minute when Adem Ramadan put Turner in and he wasn’t going to waste the chance. STAR MAN: Jared Small (Tonbridge) ENTERTAINMENT: ★★★★★
