NEWS >>>>>> 28th January 2006 Faversham Town 1 Rusthall 0 KAM SINGH was the hero as Faversham Town rode their luck to secure a first win of 2006. The Lilywhites broke their New Year duck thanks to Singh's first goal for the club just before half-time. But it was a little harsh on Rusthall who bossed the first half of this British Energy Kent County League clash. Town were second best in the opening 45 minutes and were thanking their lucky stars when Singh popped up inside the six-yard box to fire the only goal of the game on 39 minutes. Incredibly, it was Town's solitary attempt on goal during a woeful first half that saw the corner count read 6-2 in Rusthall's favour. It was from the second flag kick that Singh did the damage, poking the ball home after Dave Hockley's ball in was flicked on at the near post by John Goodwin. It remains a mystery what boss Terry Cordice said to his players at half-time but it certainly did the trick. For Town were much improved after the break, especially in midfield with skipper Julian Beal and Dave Hockley finally getting the better of the impressive Rob Perkins and Alan Chapman. Beal had a good chance from 25 yards that flew wide and sent in a cracking ball from the right that was begging to be buried as Town enjoyed their best spell. He also played a delightful back heel into Singh only for the striker to pass up his chance of a double celebration with a right- foot shot that failed to hit the target. At the other, end goalkeeper Tim Holmes pulled off a brilliant diving save to deny Perkins on the turn. More good news for Town was Lewisham Borough's 1-1 draw with Stansfield, a result that means Town will go top if they win their game in hand. But boss Cordice will be anxious about the loss of centre-half James Holder with a pulled hamstring on 13 minutes. He now faces a race against time to be fit for the big trip to Stansfield in a fortnight. .
