Dobbin hits four as Reserves progress to the cup final

Birthday greetings Monday to Debra Finn and Cameron Lemare!

Only a handful of matches in the club over the weekend but nevertheless some heartening results.

Our cup semi-final was switched to the tranquil setting of Elham FC and, despite a difficult surface, it was one-way traffic after the Green stormed into an early 3-0 lead.

For player-manager Sid Hone, the result against Folkestone United Reserves was all the more remarkable considering a number of his charges were unavailable. Competition for places is now fierce in the league run-in as promotion is still a target.

For the record, the goals in a 9-1 victory came from Jamie Dobbin (4), Charlie Wallis (2), Alfie Glendinning, Jordan Osborne and Tyler Montgomery.

Green: T Messenger, B Petken, B Baker, D Dallas, T Montgomery, L Russell, B Osborne, J Osborne, C Wallis, A Glendinning, J Dobbin. Subs: S Ades, K Wallis, D Churchley
