A Saturday Friendly Round Up- 5 September 2020

By Ian Townsend

We had a large programme of friendlies this afternoon. Here's a- perhaps not comprehensive- round up!

We’re two weeks from the big kick off (one week for some of our clubs, who will be in the FA Cup next weekend), so we had a large number of pre-season friendlies. Here’s a round up- which might not be comprehensive given we’re relying on social media!

Here we go- in no particular order!

Aveley defeated Hythe Town by two goals to nil. George Sykes got them both.

Margate v Dover Athletic

They then went on to play again, defeating Witham Town two-one. Dadson and Owusu got the goals for the Blues, we don't have the Witham scorer yet.

Carshalton Athletic defeated Tooting and Mitcham United three-two. Bennett and Clunis scored for the Robins- no idea who got the other- whilst Waters and Adjei scored for the Terrors.

Folkestone Invicta recorded a rather impressive victory over Ashford United, by six goals to one. A Draycott hat trick, and goals from Heard, Ter Horst and Sterling made the difference- Nuts and Bolts scorer unknown.

Leatherhead defeated Staines Town by five goals to nil. Great Evans with three, Briggs and Hester-Cook notched for the Tanners.

Wingate and Finchley defeated Boreham Wood three-two at Summers Lane, Sayoud, Ifill and a trialist scoring the goals.

Burgess Hill Town and Corinthian-Casuals drew one-one. Ndozid equalised for the Hillians, Casuals scorer is seemingly unrecorded.

Cray Valley PM travelled to Brentwood Town and left after scoring the only goal of the game- Francis Babalola got it- whilst Northwood fell two-nil at Melksham Town. Headline image courtesy of the Brentwood Town twitter feed.

Cray Wanderers took part in a seven goal thriller against landlords Bromley, but were on the wrong end of that as Bromley got four. Taylor, Parker and Pritchard scored for Wands.

Ingrey got the only goal of the game as Cambridge City defeated Barton Rovers.

Kingstonian travelled to Tonbridge Angels and fell to a two-one defeat, Andrews getting the K’s goal, whilst Whitehawk were also taking on National League opposition, and also had a two-one scoreline- but the Hawks triumphed over Eastleigh, Tighe and Muggeridge sending them home happy.
