Tranmerekat on Tour: A Home Away From Home

Newhaven FC face AFC Varndeanians in the relocated away meeting between the sides in the SCFL at The Trafalgar Ground

The Dockers ⚓️ face the V's at home in a tie that was re-scheduled from Monday due to the Queen's funeral 🙏 (God bless you Ma'am) and then moved from the Withdean to Fort Road for reasons unknown.🤷‍♂️

The Dockers sit 2nd 🥈 in the league and the visitors are yet to get going in 16th. The Fort Road boys are on a roll, lets hope that continues. It certainly did and they were composed yet aggressive from the start and a brace on 10 ⚽️ and 13 ⚽️ from Lukas set the tone for the night. Quality goals they were too. After a number of misfires, Alfie finally got his goal on 26 ⚽️ and Jack Meeres made it 4 on 39 ⚽️ to go in 4-0 up at the break. Don't think there is much coming back from that.

The V's were a bit more on the front foot after the restart but the Dockers defence was more than a match. The host were camped out in the other half for long periods and Tom Underwood made it 5 on 62 ⚽️. Demas Ramsis who was a nuisance or a delight to watch depending on your perspective got his goal on 68 ⚽️. Big Robbo came on with about 10 to go and made his make making it 7 on 84 ⚽️. 7-0 and another clean sheet put the Fort Road Boys on top of the league. not bad for a team that lost the first 2 games.

Really fantastic performance today. Everything just clicked and it was a joy to watch. 3 points and a big confidence boost with the next 2 games at home. Shame we won't be there for those.

Officials officiated. 🤷‍♂️👏

POTM: Lukas for 2 quality goals that set the tone so early into the match. Almost felt sorry for them at times.

Scranometer needed to be re-calibrated due to the change of venue. Having planned to have a meal in the carvery at the Withdean, it was the Fort Road Cheesy Chips 🍟 🧀 that registered a 7/10 tonight. Hot chocolate was the usual 8/10.

Off on our own international break now. Back in October

Love Tranmerekat 🐾
