With several absentees, Farnborough were unable to build on last Sunday’s victory at Phoenix and consequently slipped back below Sevenoaks into fourth place in the Kent Youth Central division table. A distinct lack of composure in front of goal played a big part in what turned out to be one of the most disappointing performances of the season so far, as chances were not taken giving the visitors ample opportunity to reverse their defeat to Farnborough earlier in the campaign.
The inconsistent start to 2012 ended the Academy’s title chances and the inability to capitalise on the win at Phoenix is one of the main concerns for Farnborough boss Richard Percy. After a positive start from the home side, Sevenoaks took control scoring against the run of play. This proved to be the Academy’s downfall as they never really recovered from the early setback, but the 5-0 score line did seem a little harsh on reflection.
Elsewhere, a comprehensive 5-2 victory for leaders Bridon Ropes extended their lead at the top to four points and Bromley continued their surge up the league table claiming their fourth win in a row beating Tunbridge Wells 3-2. Farnborough will be looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat and finish the season in a positive manner when they make the trip to in form Bromley for their final league fixture of the year. However, the Academy will have to wait until early April as they enter a month’s layoff from league action before making the trip to Hayes Lane.
