Bearsted v Beckenham Town

2.30pm  8 October 2011
Kent Senior Trophy, First Round
Bearsted 0 Beckenham Town 4 (att 52)

I thought this might have been a closer game, but Beckenham, who effectively play a division higher than Bearsted, played well and ran out comfortable winners.

They even had the luxury of missing a penalty at the end of the first half, by which time they were already 2-0 ahead thanks to two very well taken goals. Bearsted had their moments, but never really threatened once the visitors were ahead.

Bearsted's ground is in Otham, a surprisingly bucolic setting on the edge of Maidstone. A small prefab seated stand is, I think, a new addition as the club are among the founder members of the new Kent Invicta League this season.

Ground no 3,657
