MATCH PREVIEW / Bowers & Pitsea (A) - 16th August 2022
Bowers & Pitsea (A) - 16th August 2022
By Josh Cole
Margate travel to the Len Salmon Stadium to take on Bowers and Pitsea on Tuesday evening in their second game of this new Isthmian Premier Division campaign.
The ‘Gate took a point from the opening league game at Hartsdown Park against Kingstonian FC with a late 87th minute penalty from captain Ben Greenhalgh rescuing a point for the Blues.
Andy Drury spoke to Gate TV after the match against Kingstonian, and here is what he had to say. “I think it was a fair reflection of the game really, I thought we come out of the blocks really well first 10-15 minutes, and then kind of tailed off really, we didn’t work as hard as what we should’ve done, they didn’t really cause us problems it was more of a fact we caused ourselves problems, giving the ball away in silly areas, having too many touches, got in at half time and said to the lads you have to work harder, move the ball quicker, and I think we did it fairly well and I thought we were the better team overall in the second half.
Bowers and Pitsea fell to a crushing 4-1 defeat on opening day away at Corinthian Casuals which saw the Bowers concede two goals in the opening four minutes of that match which was followed by a third in the 31st minute. Bowers and Pitsea managed to pull one back shortly after in the 38th minute, but a fourth goal in the 73rd minute saw out the home victory.
Last season the ‘Gate took six points off tonight's hosts, with a 4-2 win at the Len Salmon Stadium, followed by a 3-2 victory at Hartsdown Park in April.
With no new injury concerns for Manager Andy Drury he will be able to choose from a fully fit squad as his side look to build upon their solid start to the 2022/23 season.
Kick-off at the Len Salmon Stadium is 7:45pm, but as always if you cant be there, then you can stay right up to date on our Twitter feed @margate_fc from 7:15pm.
