Wood scores to night
I remember the football department/coaching staff raved about Wood when he arrived and initially he was in and about the team. Hopefully his loan spell will give him a lot of confidence and game time as he could be just the sort of player we need.No Benton for Braintree - his loan had another couple of weeks to run so he may have been recalled with Mooney’s injury. In his absence they drew 0-0 with Oxford City.
Jack Wood made his second start for Tonbridge. They started sharply taking a first minute lead. Second half didn’t start so well as it this time took them 3 minutes to score. Jack Wood then opened his Tonbridge account just past the hour mark with “a lovely finish”. Tonbridge then cruised to a 3-0 win to lift them above their visitors to 9th, a point outside the play-offs and two points behind Braintree in 5th.
Isthmian North
Despite being sent off at the weekend Louie Arrowsmith was in the Heybridge side that took on 16th placed Wroxham. Heybridge took a 2nd minute lead but their hosts equalised second half to deprive Tilly’s men of 2 points. Heybridge remain 3rd and miss the chance to draw level with Hashtag in 2nd.
Braintree, they finished 0-0 without him, their fans say they clearly missed him as he is an main threat for them.who does Jon Benson play for ?
He was ok to be fair.Hungerford are only a level below us but are really struggling and we're shocking first half better in second.But he was decent and I think Tilly is a good manager to help develop out. youngsters.Louie Arrowsmith was one of the few to beat the freeze. Heybridge took on Hungerford in the Trophy. They took a 32nd minute lead but their opponents, two divisions higher but bottom of the NL South, equalised on 63 minutes. It went to penalties where Heybridge missed one and Hungerford didn’t.
@tia how did he do? He was the No.3.
Deja vu as one again Jack Wood started alongside Lewis Gard for Tonbridge against a Welling side captained by James Dunne and Jon Benton was on the bench for Braintree in the Essex derby v Chelmsford.NL South
Jon Benton was on the bench for Braintree’s Essex derby v Chelmsford. With Braintree trailing 1-0 he was introduced on 59 minutes and into the book by 65 minutes. Chelmsford wrapped it up with a second on 77 minutes. It finished 2-0.
Jack Wood started alongside Lewis Gard for Tonbridge against a Welling side captained by James Dunne. Wood had a shot just wide from the edge of the area just before Welling took the lead against the run of play. That proved to be the only goal of the game.
Yes, went to the game. Heybridge goal was a header from a corner. Heybridge deserved the win although GWR gave it a go in the second half. I was slightly disappointed with Heybridge Swifts and have seen stronger GWR teams. The gate was larger than usual which brings in much needed income for the village club who do really well to compete at this level. Louis Arrowsmith was one of the better players on show although probably wouldn't be near the first team at Southend.The Isthmian North were in action today. No Luke Reeve for Tilbury but Louie Arrowsmith played in Heybridge’s 1-0 win v Great Wakering. Tilly’s men took a first half lead and that was all they needed against their struggling hosts (for whom ex-teammate Tayo Adedoja was a second half sub).
Anyone go along?
