The Hoops come into this fixture following a 1-1 draw with Chelmsford City, whilst the Angels come into the game with some momentum themselves following a 1-0 victory over Billericay Town.

Manager’s Thoughts


David Olfield will be making sure his side are ready and prepared to bounce back from the 1-1 draw last weekend and try to put 3 points on the board. The Hoops manager spoke to us ahead of this fixture. 


“There’s another opportunity for us this week to prepare properly and know the challenge ahead.”


“We are progressing and going forward.”


“We have to train properly.”


Star Player 


Ibrahim Olutade


The Tonbridge striker is in good form so far this season having scored 4 goals for the Kent outfit already. Olutade joined Tonbridge from local rivals Maidstone United. The 23-year-old also had a spell with Leatherhead where he netted 13 times for the Tanners. 

He made the move from the Stones to the Angels over the summer of this year, and following a couple of disruptive seasons, the striker seems to have found his old goal scoring form.
