Good performance away from home to open the 22/23 league campaign

Following last week’s postponement, due to the period of mourning for the Queen, our 22/23 league season kicked-off late with a trip to Lordswood. Spectators were treated to an eventful game sprinkled with quality finishing.
After a bright start by Whitstable creating a couple of chances, Lordswood’s first attack of note led to their opening goal. The players’ reaction to going behind when we’d dominated early was spot on. Whitstable played with intensity and at times Lordswood looked as though they weren’t quite sure what had hit them. Dexter Lee grabbed the equaliser on 7 minutes and the players in red continued to create a number of good chances. Against the run of play again Lordswood regained the lead when Whitstable failed to clear just before the half hour. The teams went in at half time with Lordswood holding a 2-1 lead.
After the break Whitstable picked-up the pace. More chances were created but it wasn’t until the 60th minute that Whitstable equalised for a second time, Tom Morris finishing-off a good passing move. Two minutes later debutant Riley Court fired-in from the edge of the box and Whitstable didn’t look back.
Another Lee goal ten minutes later settled the match before substitute Anton Valente scored a fifth after 76 minutes. There was time for a few worrying moments as Lordswood scored again out of nowhere but Valente eased the nerves with a composed finish with two minutes remaining.
There will be tougher matches ahead but scoring six goals away from home in the first league match of the season is a fantastic achievement, with strong performances across the pitch from all 14 players.
