There are three teams battling it out for the title in this division. Five Oak Green came into this sitting top of the table on 38 points (5 to play), leading Roselands on goal difference (also 5 to play), whilst Tunbridge Wells Foresters Reserves are a further two points back, with one game fewer to play than the other two. Tonight’s teams both have to host Roselands yet, so it could still go right to the wire, whatever the outcome tonight.

The first half was end to end, played at a 100 mph pace. The only goal of the half came after eleven minutes, when FOG finished a break down the right with a shot from just inside the box. They doubled their lead four minutes into the second half, when a striker managed to nick the ball off a defender as he tried to shepherd the ball back to the ‘keeper, leaving an easy finish from eight yards. Just after the hour they made it 3-0, heading in from close range from a corner on the right and there was no way back for the visitors.

The ground here is shared with cricket. Looking from the car park/changing rooms the pitch is to the right of an artificial cricket wicket, with the pitch running away lengthways.
