Wednesday 8 November 2017, Leatherhead 1 Folkestone Invicta 2 - Isthmian Premier, Fetcham Grove
Took me 3 attempts but I eventually got to see a game at Leatherhead and as they may move next season, I am glad I got to see a game at Fetcham Grove,
A ground full of character and the club may be low in the league but on a high after their recent FA Cup exploits. A club of course famous for giant killing hoping again to experience the magic of the cup.
Folkestone are higher in the league and maybe expected to take advantage of the tired legs of the Leatherhead team, but the 'Tanners' had a new loan player in their side and he would have a cracking first half on his debut.
Liam Nash is on loan from Gillingham, and he certainly was the centre of attention in the first half, gaining a penalty and then showing he does not lack confidence, he then took the spot kick and scored with a 'Panenka'.
The home side were the better team in the first half but could not maintain the lead and Folkestone got back on terms just before the break.
The second half saw Leatherhead with plenty of possession but no cutting edge and Folkestone got the winner, it was also great to spot for the second time this season, the football kit wearing, Folkestone supporting Great Dane!
