Last Kent County fixture…..21st  April 2012

New Romney

0 – 1

Forest Hill Park

Forest Hills’  last league fixture in this seasons campaign ended in a 1-0 victory away against division one strugglers New Romney. The long road trip down the M20 was met by a ground with a delightful playing surface, and looked as though it would compliment the away sides style of play.

And so it did ….for the first 15 minutes, as the visitors imposed themselves on the game, in terms of possession and goal scoring opportunities. But New Romney showed spirit and determination and had good spells early in the game too, but neither side capitalised on any of their chances.

Until 5 minutes later Tafari Henry out paced the right back, got fouled in the penalty box in the process, he did not go down, squared the ball as James Owolabi struck his shot first time, hit the post only to bounce back off from the Romney defender.

The home side pressed and went in search of an equaliser for the remainder of the first half,  but to no avail.

2nd Half

New Romney kept fighting and did not lie down, in as much as attempting to stem Forest Hills superior dominance by showing a ‘die hard spirit’ . And while it remained  1-0 Romney kept plugging away in search of the elusive goal. At times, both goal keepers pulled off some fantastic saves from goal scoring chances that would have seemed to be destined for the back of the net. Their performances in goal,  crucially played their  part and kept the score line of this match down to just the single goal.
