Faversham Town Reserves 3 Woodnesborough 0

IT was essential for Brett Harrison's Faversham Town Reserves to bounce back in this Challenge Cup clash following a poor run of two defeats and a draw.

And they did not disappoint, winning at a canter on Grand National day. True, they were helped along the way with first teamers Tim Holmes in goal plus Julian Beal in midfield who opened the scoring just after the half-hour.

Town peppered the Woodnesborough goal with shots and headers for most of the match. Many attempts were either too high, flew wide or were straight at goalkeeper Ashmoor who had a good game.

Tyrone Smith created the first goal on 34 minutes, drawing Ashmoor off his line before feeding the ball to Beal to fire home.

Jason Mills nearly burst the net with a cannon ball shot from the edge of the area on 74 minutes to put Town 2-0 ahead and Adam Whitehead netted the third right at the death.

Woodnesborough were denied a consolation goal when Tim Holmes tipped a fierce shot from substitute Gavin Marsh round the post.

Boss Harrison was thrilled to see his side return to winning ways as he looks forward to the top-of-the-table clash away to The George on Saturday.
