Rustics enjoy unbeaten start


Rusthall maintained their unbeaten start to their British Energy Kent County Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Snodland at Nellington Road on Saturday, writes Stephen McCartney.

In front of a healthy crowd of 129, goals from Andy Myles and Martin Millins secured the victory for the Tunbridge Wells based outfit.

The Rustics came out full of confidence for the game, having secured a 2-2 draw at Stansfeld Oxford & Bermondsey Club on the opening day of the season.

Although both teams had chances the score remained goalless at the break

However, the Rustics change formation in the second half and played with three at the back and five across midfield, and this had an instant impact as they took control and began to play some good football.

It wasn't long before Perkins put across a good ball for Myles to slot home.

Snodland, however, reacted and pushed men forward searching for the equaliser.  This, however, left large gaps in their defence, which Millins exploited when he was put through and with only the goalkeeper to beat he kept his composure and slotted home.

Lydd Town are the visitors to Nellington Road on Saturday (2:45pm).
