Whitchurch 0-2 Sevenoaks 

High flying Sevenoaks arrived at Sophia Gardens and began the game in confident fashion - creating a number of good opportunities in the opening minutes.  Only poor finishing and some astute goalkeeping from Whitchurch skipper Iwan Williams kept the scores level.

Whitchurch led firm and could have gone ahead shortly before the break.  Jon Collis drove a free hit from the top of the circle to the back post, where Neil Potter made contact, but could only deflect it wide.  On reflection Whitchurch were probably lucky to go into the break level - with the Kent side looking dangerous on the counter.

Whitchurch started brightly in the second period - applying concerted pressure but not breaking through and often prone to to surrendering possession cheaply in dangerous areas.  Whitchurhc again kept the Sevenoaks keeper honest from open play and penalty corners, but the stubborn Sevenoaks defence could not be breached.

With little over 10 minutes remaining Sevenoaks broke the deadlock after being awarded a dubious penalty corner - leading scorer Peter Turner rifled home an unstopable drag flick.  This gave the momentum back to Sevenoaks and George Torry scored their second from open play with five minutes remaining.

Whitchurch continued to probe - Jon Collis unlucky to hit the post.  It was toprove to be one of the games where the ball would just not go in.

Whitchurch remain in 8th place and face Bromley & Beckenhma on Saturday who are directly beneath them in the table.
