Saturday’s home game against Margate is important in so many ways.
Firstly we need to bounce back after rare back to back defeats against Canvey Island and Folkestone.
Secondly it’s our last home league game until we meet Hornchurch at the end of March.
But perhaps most importantly of all, to commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8, we are opening our turnstiles free of charge to all women and girls to mark our Annual Ladies Day.
We would like as many female fans as possible to come and watch in a safe, fun and affordable environment and to join our club whether as players at adult/youth level, members, supporters or volunteers.
Margate will be without midfielder Sam Blackman, as he completes a two-game ban, as well as defender Emmanuel Oke who starts a three-match suspension while midfielder Cameron Brodie has been recalled by parent club Dartford.
But that will allow other players to step up to the plate and the club will have been buoyed by their midweek win over Cray Valley PM to reach the last four of the Kent Senior Cup.
In the league Margate are 16th and although they have taken two points out of a possible 15, they only narrow lost to Bishop’s Stortford in mid-February and have proved at times this season they can be formidable opposition on their day.
Kick-off on Saturday is 3pm and we are hoping for another bumper attendance to match our Public Services Day.
