Tonbridge Reserves brushed aside the challenge from Sevenoaks Town on Saturday to claim a place in the Kent Intermediate Cup Final against either Sittingbourne or Gravesend & Northfleet on a date still to be decided.
Former Town players Phil Cramp, Dan Powell and Ollie Miles all found themselves on the score sheet, Cramp opening the scoring on 16
minutes, cleverly lobbing the goalkeeper from eighteen yards. Sevenoaks rarely troubled the home defence with the back three of Johnson, Miles
and Mike Cramp in total control. Angels should have increased the scoreline but Powell put wide of the post, however the striker redeemed himself just before half time slotting the ball past a static goalkeeper.
The second half started well for Angels who all but killed the game off after 56 minutes, Phil Cramp being brought down by the keeper and Ollie Miles converting the resulting spot kick. Phil Cramp added his second and the home team's fourth on 72 minutes with a well placed shot, before Ian Parkes rifled home a shot from the edge of the box. Angels had strong claims for a second penalty kick when Powell appeared to have been brought down by the keeper.

Manager's Comments: "I think even the most avant Sevenoaks supporter would agree that the Angels totally outclassed them today. The quality of the goals was very pleasing, I was also pleased for all the ex-Oaks players as they have taken a little bit of stick from certain quarters and today proved the point."
