Kennington goal scorer's were Chris Dawes and Craig Calvert.
Under 18s
Lost 5-0
Veterans
The Veterans lost 1-0 to Lambeth Classics
Joe ended up with a pleasing squad of 16, Kenington had the better of the early exchanges and should have gone in front after about 15 minutes but we hit the post, after that things were quite even, Lambeth had a few shots at goal but all from distance and the teams went in at half time 0-0. Kennington made four changes in the second half and took a bit of time to settle down and gave away an early goal apart from the goal both teams seemed evenly matched, Kennington managed to get behind their defense a couple of times but shot to early, Lambeth did have a few shots from distance but never troubled the Kennington keeper. To be fair Lambeth probably just about edged the game but i think if we had scored we would have gone on to win because Lambeth spent a lot of time arguing between themselves.
Squad - S Manning, Spud Murphy, Peter MacRobert, Paul Carter, Nobby Charlton, Shane Reed, Jezz Field, Matt Stanley.Farther Ted ,Chris Senior, John Cunningham, Gary Van Arkadie, Dave Button,
Stu Partner, Gary Gibbs, Mick Mouse.
Well done to all the lads that took part and thank you for giving up your Sunday morning to play.

Not in order but the starting eleven was
Jon Webster,Spud Murphy, Peter Mc Robert, Grandma Carter, Nobby Charlton, Tony Beal, Matt Stanley, Jez Field, Shane Reed Chris Spaky Senior, Paul Caulfield
subs Jon Cunningham and Stuart Partner who both played.
It was a great result today we won 3-0 goal scorers were Chris Sparky Senior with two and John Cunnigham with the third.
It was a good game we were quite ragged to start with but that was to be expected with a lot of new players, after about twenty minutes we started to play some neat
football and we got the first goal courtesy of Sparky Senior, this gave our lads a big boost and more chances came our way, Crofton did create a few chances themselves
but they were all long range shots which our keeper Webo calmly dealt with.
We managed to hold onto the lead and go in at half time for a well earned break 1-0 up.
In the second half we were playing down hill with the wind behind us and we started the second half much the
same as we finished the first by playing some neat football.
One or two of our lads thought they still had twenty year old legs going down hill but soon realized their mistake when trying to get back up.
With about 50 minutes on the clock sparky got his second goal this again raised the team and more chances fell our way with at least two sitters being missed, i wont say who by but Jon Cunningham made amends with a cracking finnish for our third on 70 minutes.
We held on until the final whistle and full credit to all our lads they all played well but i think there will be a few aching joints and sore muscles in the morning.
Thank you to all our lads that took part it was a great game to watch.

FRIENDLIES UPDATE
Our reserves friendly away to new club Greenhill on Saturday was cancelled due to them not being able to field a team, much to the bitter disapointment of Keith and Butch. It seems that the club formed from the ashes of Premier FC are still having the same problems that lead to Premiers demise. We have therefore arranged for the reserves to play a game on Thursday night ko 6.30 at Sandyacres, opponents TBA.
The under 18s game against Highfield did go ahead and ended in a 1-1 draw with our goal coming from Jordan Knell. With a lot of the squad missing it was a chance for some of the other squad members to shine, but with a lot of them being strangers to the training pitch their lack of fitness was woefully short of the required level. But with two weeks to go before the start of their season there is time to put the graft in and next weeks trip to Welling will go a long way in determining the make-up of Alans squad for the opening game on September 4th.

FRIENDLY UPDATE
There was a change to the scheduled Reserve Team friendly today, Tenterden were unable to for fill the fixture so Ashford Athletic kindly took their place.
Report from Graham Oxley
The reserve squad got some much needed match practice today at Sandyacres against Ashford Athletic, who stepped in as late replacements for Tenterden Town, and finished with a comfortable 7-2 victory. A mixture of our talented youngsters and some older players had too much for the Ashford League side and although the players are still getting to know one another the fitness gained from good pre season work is starting to pay off. Two goals each for Carlum Macleod and Charlie Fitzgerald plus goals for Jordan Knell, Steve Rice and Ryan Carter capped off a good afternoons work by all the squad and in particular Grieg Hothersall in the centre of midfield.

PRE-SEASON FRIENDLIES UPDATE
Goals from Rob Clark (2) Josh Conlon, Stuart Allen and Chris Howells saw us run out 5-0 winners at Lenham Wanderers today.
A tight first half saw us go into the break with a one goal lead but our superior fitness paid off in the second period to see us win comfortably.
Excellent performances at the back from Ben Davies, Rob Nash and debutant keeper Sean Macleod saw us deal with a lively Lenham attack in the first half, and a superb midfield display from Adam Purse together with the pace of Josh (JJ) Jones gave us too much for the Wanderers in the second.

FRIENDLIES UPDATE
Two friendlies played this week gave our lads another opportunity to improve fitness and to impress managers. Last Saturday we took on Ashford United with a mix and match of Saturday players and gave United a tougher test than the 5-0 scoreline suggested. Many good performances with Robbie Clark and Lewis Horne outstanding.
Then on Thursday evening instead of training a in-house match gave Graham's Sunday lads their first run out of pre season against the under 18s and Saturday seniors. A match of four 25 minute periods had them play 50 minutes against each side and the pace and quality of football by all sides was impressive and Alan and Graham were very pleased with the nights work. Normal training resumes this week on Tuesday, and Thursday continues with the 5 a side.
NB: Tenterden Town have confirmed the friendly on August 13th.
SIGNING ON
Forms have gone out and players have started to commit for the new season. If any players have yet to return forms can they do so this week please so that we can meet the County League deadline and keep our secretary Kevin happy.

Under 18s Friendly Match Reports
Lydd Town 5 Kennington 3
With a last minute thrown together side which only featured three faces from last seasons team in it,we started off much the brighter team.Our attacking pace was giving the lydd defence problems and after some neat interchanging passes between josh jones and karlum Mc clough josh broke free and put in a cross that was neatly finished on the volley by Alex Hortal.
Lydds response was a good one which saw us with our backs against the wall for the last twenty minutes of the first half.Lydds pin point crossing and quick running off the ball produced some good football which we found hard to deal with at times.four quick goals one of which was a sweet overhead volley gave lydd a 4-1 half time lead.
Second half and with three changes made we still kept pressing and always looked as though we could score going forward.With chris clement moving back into defence we managed to keep the ever lively lee winfield to fewer opportunities to get the ball across.with steve rice in a unfamiliar roll in the centre of midfield we managed to compete better for the ball and when a blocked tackle from 35 yards out seem to be going nowhere the lydd keeper was caught off his line and the ball looped over and in.
This gave us alot more encouragement and with some good defesive work from kieran tickner and a couple of quality saves from matt else we seemed to be getting back into the game only for lydd to catch us on the break and another low cross finding the on rushing lydd player to slot home from close range.not to be out done we again responded well with
another new lad mitchell punt pressing forward and with some neat footwork got past the full back and put in a near post cross which was nodded home by Karlum Mc Clough.
Final score 5-3 to lydd.
Overall and taking into account the appalling weather conditions with six players under eighteen and quite a few getting their first taste of first team football it was a pleasing performance.with the addition of another half a dozen of the more experienced players who where unavailable for this game and the three or four new signings we should have a strong team to compete with.
Team: M.Else, K.Tickner, L.Horne, S.Johnson, .J.Presscott, C.Howells. C.Clement.Griag.?, J.Jones, K.Mc Clough, A.Hortal, S.Rice, M.Punt, J.North
Kennington 3 Jay Ten 4
The u18's entertained what was to be a jay ten u18's side from thamesmead at the 3g pitch at pitchside stanhope.when the side eventually made their way to the ground
it was obvious this was not an u18's side as we were told and this was plain to see when some of the man mountains were doing their warm ups.it was later found the average age of the team was 24 years.
Neither the less the game went ahead some half an hour late.from the kick off the jay ten side took command and produced some free flowing football and neat passing which saw our lads hardly touching the ball.it wasn't long before jay ten took the lead when a shot from edge of area was not dealt with and slipped under the keepers body.This looked as though this was going to be the start of a drubbing but to the lads credit we started to compete better in the midfield area with some good touches from Greig Hothersall and some crunching tackles from Jake Presscott.This was soon rewarded when some hard chasing down from front two of Ben Holloway and Jordon Knell resulted in an equaliser. The game then became alot more even but unfortunately we were our own worst enemy when gifting the opposition two more goals from some slack defending not dealing with the ball first time.credit due to the lads we battled back and competed well in all areas of the park against a very strong and physical side.This was rewarded when a loose ball was picked up by jake presscott and smashed home from just in side the area. Half time score 3-2 to jay ten.
Second half saw five changes and a change of formation which seemed to suit us better. we seemed to be getting the better of the midfield battle with Jake Presscott on top form.Rob Nash had his hands full with the man mountain of a centre forward always breathing down his neck and Roy Williams made amends for the first goal with a couple of great saves. Jay Ten made a couple of changes themselves and it was one of these who hit an unstoppable shot from outside the area to give them a two goal cushion. The lads still kept their heads high and were matching jay ten in all areas of the pitch. An inch perfect crossfield pass from ryan carter found lewis piper down the right who skipped pass his marker and put in a cross that was nodded neatly home to make the final score 4-3 to jay ten.
This was a pleasing performance for a team who played their first game together.The lads showed their physical side of their game against and strong, fit and physical thamesmead team full of rather large lads.
Team; R.Williams, R.Nash, L.Horne, C.Page, R.Durrant, J.Presscott, G.Hothersall, J.North, J.Oldery, B.Holloway, J.Knell, R.Carter, B.Horne, C.Heyburn ,L.Piper, K.Tickner.
