Newhaven FC v Seaford Town FC in the Steve Charman Cup at the Trafalgar Ground |

The Dockers⚓ take on the Badgers 🦡 in the annual charity cup at Fort Road. Entry is by donation to the @theBHF 💓. There are few changes in the line-up tonight. Harry is right back, no Alfie, no Robbos. Tegan is in the 6 with Blunty further forward. Think the 9 is Callum Connor. Sean and new boy Callum Edwards are the wide players.
The Dockers look the better side from the off and . Their first chance comes from Callum who tries to break the crossbar from range. The visitors take the lead on 22. The Dockers draw level on 22 when Bailie leaps like a salmon to head in from a corner at the back post⚽. There a succession of off-side decisions some are good, others not so. He scores again on 27 when he meets a cross near the far post and slots it home⚽. The score is levelled soon after. Bailie thinks he's got his hattrick on 43 when he taps it home from close range but it's offside⚽. It really is off-side this time. Level at 45⛔. Hope the linesperson at the other end is a bit more consistent.
Theme of second half collapses continues as the Dockers concede 2 in the second 45. The Dockers put the ball in the net a couple of times but the off-side trap is competing for POTM.
Not a great performance from the Dockers but a few changes to the line-up may have caused that. New boy Callum Edwards didn't have the best game in open play but takes a mean corner. Getting the squad involved and getting match minutes is more important than the result in pre-season. The Steve Charman Cup 🏆 heads east to Seaford, more incentive to reclaim it next season.
POTM 🏆: Actually goes to Bailie Rogers for this hattrick brace of goals ⚽⚽⚽.
It was nice to have a celebrity ref for the charity game in the shape of Mike Dean. He gave a couple of bookings where needed other than that he let it flow. Linespeople, unfortunately, did not do so well. It happens and it goes both ways 😣. Hope it evens out soon.🙏
The Ferry ⛴, Côte d'Albâtre today, came in on schedule.
That's it for pre-season for the Dockers. It starts for real soon 👀.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
