cory played the last 15 v fulham steve and i think he played as a forward against hendon in the 3rd qualifying round in 1999.

[BlueGate Alan]

I did realise he used to play for us Geoff in the past, what I meant is another Ramsgate youngster coming to Margate maybe?

[BlueGate Alan]

If you have recent versions of either Real Player or Windows Media Player and a Broadband link you should be OK. I'm assuming that you've followed the "Listen Live" link all the way through from the Next Game section on the home page?

[MargateMan]

I find these links work better:

(Real Player)

 

I can't get the embedded player on the site to work

[Wellsie]

Thanks for that, I'll get Webmaster to check that out.

[MargateMan]

I think it's the fact I'm not a Windows user that's preventing it

[ooh!!bodyform]

sorry for the late update chatham equalised 10 mins ago manny not playing all that good margate in general flatter towards end no more team news

[BlueGate Alan]

Cheers MM has done the trick

[BlueGate Alan]

Well hopefully stay 1-1 which not bad result as mainly reserves playing & will still maintain Trottys unbeaten record

[BlueGate Alan]

Just hope I havent spoken too soon Steve, tho if a 7.45 kick off should have finished ages ago?

[Jeff Trice]

In case it's not clear the game did finish 1-1. We played quite well in the first half and the goal was well worked, pinpoint cross from Aaron Robinson on the right and Danny Wisker arrived at the perfect moment to thump home a header. In an impressive first half display in central midfield Wisker nearly added another as his piledriver was pushed away by the Chatham keeper. 1-0 up at half time and then a mass of subs resulted in the performance tailing off, Chatham kept pushing forward and got a deserved equaliser from distance that I thought possibly Scott Chalmers-Stevens should have done better with. Didn't have the best angle on it so I could be wrong on that.

 

I thought Wisker and centre back Luke Williams had good games and Aaron Robinson never stopped running and was always looking for the ball up front. Manny Omoyinmi looked like he's lacking match practice but I'd have thought he'd do a great job for us. Would think he'd cost a fair bit in terms of wages though so can't see us getting him unless we unload one or more of the transfer-listed players.

 

Think I saw practically the whole squad around the ground apart from Osman Sesay and the transfer-listed players.

 

Good turnout from us - must have been about 40 there which compares well to the single figure away followings Fisher and Ashford brought to us.

Cannot argue with anything Jeff put.

 

There was no team sheet, so we had to get together amongst ourselves a bit to try and put names in frames.

 

Here's what I got, but am ready to stand corrected, as I don't think it is totally there.

 

Starting line up:

Chalmers-Stevens (1)

Standen (2), Lewis (6), Trotty (5), Skinner (3)

Hoggart (8), Wisker (7), Cory (14), Jackson (11),

Silva (10), Robinson (9)

 

2nd half starting:

 

Omoyinmi on for Silva, McKimm on for Cory, Oates on for Skinner, Standen swapping over to left back.

 

Later in the second half Luke Williams for Trotty, Brister on for Robinson, and Hoggart replaced by Stellon.

 

Liked the look of young Stellon. Manny looked a way off being match sharp but you could see evidence of his blistering pace.

 

Wisker's dad confirmed the lack of an 'h' in his name, but said that everyone gets it wrong, press, team sheets, everything.

 

Chatham's goal was very well taken by their number 9, after some good work by their number 3.

There was some sustained pressure from Chatham in the second half forcing some good saves from Chalmers-Stevens. We had more of the first half, the lad Silva also came close with a shot shaved past the right hand post. McKimm made a terrific solo run at the goal in the second half, but met with too much opposition in the box, and Brister was saved close to the end.

Much less cohesive game than the previous two, more scrappy, but we kept the passing going, and credit to Chatham, they were playing a bit of football too. Much more like the normal type friendly.

Thanks for the info Jeff and June. Was hoping to get there but blooming work called me in at last minute to sort something out! Nice to see a few more trialists then esp Manny
