Volume 1 Issue 23 Peter Guise previews the week ahead for Herne Bay Football Club.

Matches scheduled for week commencing Saturday 14th March 2015.

First XI

It’s ten unbeaten now for the Bay as Sam Denly gears his promotion play-off chasing squad for what can only be described as the Clash of the In-Form Titans. With Bay now nestled nicely in the final play-off berth all eyes will be on this test of how far they have come since the turn of the year. This is the big one, then, the visitors are unbeaten in the league, table topping, Burgess Hill Town . A bumper crowd is expected at The Field of Dreams so get there early.

U21s

The U21s are within touching distance of winning the East Division of the NRG Gyms U21 Development League. This Saturday’s game with Tankerton (who they beat 4-0 at Winch’s Field last week) has been postponed as The Canterbury Academy facilities where Tankerton play their home games has become unavailable due to another event being held there.

However, on Tuesday night, the U21s return home for a league match with Soccer Elite FA where, of course, a win will enable them to celebrate the Divisional title with supporters. Then, after another three league games, it will be onto the play-offs with the West Division for the overall championship.
