Faversham Strike Force v Larkfield & New Hythe – Wednesday 15th February 2023 – The Aquatherm Stadium

I resisted the urge to see the Sheppey v Chatham battle at…

Chatham Town v Three Bridges – Saturday 4th February 2023 – The Bauvill Stadium

I came again to the Bauvill Stadium, for today’s game, attracted by Chatham Town’s seemingly unstoppable home form in the Isthmian League, this season. A rare defeat away, against second placed Beckenham Town, in midweek, still left Chatham top of the league, but ensured they really needed to secure a win in today’s game, for…
