Tonbridge Angels 3-1 Corinthian Casuals
Saturday, 17 December, 2005
Ryman League Division One - Attendance 384
Tonbridge comfortably made it four wins in a row against the struggling Casuals despite conceding a shock early goal. Only the woodwork and goalline clearances stood between the Angels and another big score against the division's leakiest defence.

Dobla brought in new loan signing from Gravesend Danny Glozier at left back with Jon Heath named as sub. John Beales and Ray Powell reverted to central defence/right back positions in the abscence of the injured Lew Watts, with Jay May and Adam O'Neil getting the nod up front. Luke Piscina and Danny Lye were once again on the bench.

Just three minutes were on the clock when Casuals took the lead. May gave the ball away in midfield and the visitors caught the Angels napping with a quick pass to Simon Moore, who beat Mikhel Czanner at the second attempt.

Casuals' joy was short-lived however. Glozier's driven cross hit the bar, Steve Aris headed in from Dolby's corner, then Nick Barnes struck a beauty into the top corner from 25 yards to give Tonbridge the lead with less than ten minutes gone.

Graham Tydeman cleared May's header off the line and Dolby deserved better with a clever chip which hit the bar with the 'keeper beaten. Dolby headed O'Neil's cross against the post before the Angels grabbed a third late in the first half, Frazer Logan slotting home after an attempted Casuals clearance came back off the crossbar.

Casuals 'keeper Danny Wheeler failed to reappear for the second half, leaving the ground in an ambulance following a half-time accident. Aris nearly got his second soon after the restart, Simon Sherbold clearing off the Casuals line again, but the match gradually became a low-key affair with meaningful action at a premium.

Piscina, on for O'Neil, put in a typically skilful run and shot which was tipped over. Moore nearly set up an anxious finish when he hit the post with a header from the Casuals' only corner late on, but the result never really looked in doubt after the first 10 minutes.
