Aveley (A) - 1st October 2022

By Josh Cole

The ‘Gate travel to Parkside to take on the Millers, Aveley FC in matchday eight of the 2022/23 season.

Last time out: Margate comfortably beat Faversham Town 5-0 to progress to round two of the Kent Senior Cup. Margate took the lead through Korrey Henry in the 32nd minute after great linkup down the left channel between Dsane and Greenhalgh before Greenhalgh crossed into the box which found Henry to strike home. Margate doubled their advantage right on half time through Korrey Henry grabbing his second of the game. Margate carried on from the dominant first half performance and scored straight after the whistle for the second half through a third goal from Korrey Henry. The lead was extended to four in the 53rd minute as Eddie Dsane grabbed his first goal in Margate colours in his debut after Faversham struggled to get rid of the ball in their box. It was five in the 67th minute as Eddie Dsane grabbed his second after being played through one-on-one with the keeper and he slotted the ball into the bottom corner. Three goals from Hat Trick Hero Henry and two goals on his debut from Eddie Dsane saw Margate cruise to victory.

Manager Andy Drury had high praise for his team after the game and was happy to see his team bounce back from Saturday, here’s how he summed up the game. “I thought the boys done really well tonight, done everything that I asked them to before the game, we moved the ball quickly, kept the ball and tired them out and then we always knew we were going to score goals with Korrey and Eddie both getting our goals, both done well and got vital minutes needed to catch up as they’ve not played much football but I think they’ll be great assets for us over the season”.

Margate will be without Taylor Fisher (Ankle) and Troy Howard (Ankle) for the trip to Parkfield.

Aveley currently sit in 4th position in the league with five wins, one draw and two losses, equating to 16 points, The ‘Gate have a game in hand on the opponents today but sit eight points adrift from Aveley and in 16th place.
