I’m not sure too many people included Concord Rangers in their promotion candidates this season but if league tables mean anything after three games, they come to Longmead today as league leaders with maximum points. It is particularly “THE BEACH BOYS” impressive considering the number of changes to their team over the summer. After a bit of a raid on Haringey Borough, FACTFILE they started the season with wins over Oxford City and Founded: 1967 Chelmsford City and followed that up with a 2-1 victory over Ground: Thames Road Slough on Saturday. Chairman: Antony Smith Manager: Danny Scopes The Essex side could have been playing in play-offs for a place in the National League at the end of last season but weeks from the end of the campaign they were told they were not eligible to play in the play-offs due to ground grading (number of LEE MINSHULL covered seats). Their league position of sixth would otherwise have given them a place. In the summer manager Sammy Moore left the club, (he’s now in charge at Hemel). He was replaced by Danny Scopes, who returned to the role. Former Tonbridge player Lee Minshull, who HONOURS started 57 games for the Angels between 2008 and 2010, was appointed player-assistant manager with James Roach, Nathan 1 x Isthmian League Cup 3 x Church, Adam Drew and Daniel James Howett also part of the 3 x Essex Senior League coaching and recruitment staff. 1x Essex Intermediate Lge Looking through the playing staff, Decarrey Sheriff has already scored four times this season, two in the win over Chelmsford RECORDS last Tuesday and another two against Slough on Saturday, so he’ll be looking to add to that tonight. Decarrey joined Appearances: JOEL NOUBLE Danny Heale (436) Concord from Colchester United but he’d spent spells on loan at Needham Market, Maldon and Tiptree and Dulwich Hamlet. Most goals: Another forward player to watch is one we are very familiar Danny Heale (326) with, Joel Nouble. Joel, who almost joined Tonbridge in the summer of 2018, was in the Haringey squad we met in the Biggest win: play-off semi-finals last season. 7-0 v Farnborough (2014) After Minshull, the first new signing of the summer was Record attendance: midfielder James Blanchfield. He moved from Dagenham and 1,537 v Mansfield (2014) Redbridge having spent his youth football with Arsenal and Ipswich. On the same day, 17 May, the Beach Boys also added Most goals v Tonbridge: Freddy Moncur and Chris Haigh. Moncur, son of former West James Elmes (3) Ham player John Moncur, played national league football for Ebbsfleet last season and has also played professionally for FORM Leyton Orient. Haigh is a goalkeeper who joined Concord from CHRIS HAIGH Last 5 Games: Heybridge Swifts, and has also played for Merstham and East 10/8 v Slough H W2-1 Grinstead. 6/8 v Chelmsford H W2-1 Also into Thames Road from last year’s Haringey squad are 3/8 v Oxford C a W3-0 defenders Michael O’Donoghue and Tosin Olufemi.

MANAGER’S VIEW “Keep up the great support, we’ve created chances on Saturday and we’ve created chances today. We’re only two games in and we will be fine.” PLAYER’S VIEW - TOMMY BREWER “We’re not far off anyone, if we stay in games we will always have a chance. Goals change games and we have to be more clinical at both ends.” FAN’S VIEW - MARK DAVISON “I think we were the better team for the first 15 minutes, but as soon as Wheeler scored against us we struggled to get back into the game.” FULL MATCH REPORT ONLINE To read the full report for this match, scan the QR code to the right, or visit - tonbridgeangels.co.uk MATCH ACTION MATCH DATA TONBRIDGE ANGELS 1 TURNER 68’ (PEN) DULWICH HAMLET 2 IJAHA 23’, MONAKANA 60’ (PEN) SATURDAY 3 AUGUST 2019 • VANARAMA SOUTH • ATTENDANCE 954

MANAGER’S VIEW “On another day we might have got a little bit of lady luck and got the draw we deserved. I couldn’t be prouder of the players.”

PLAYER’S VIEW - JAMES FOLKES “I put my hand up and said I’ll go in. We’re a team, we’re together and any of the boys would do the same. I said I’d do a job and do the best I can.” FAN’S VIEW - CHRIS GLAZIER “Tonbridge did well to recover under the circumstances, but it was tough after an injury to Henly and a flurry of poor calls from an easily bullied ref.”

MANAGER’S VIEW “I’ve seen the video of Rhyle’s challenge 3 times, and it’s not an elbow. That changed the course of the game massively for us- we were playing well before that.” PLAYER’S VIEW - JARED SMALL “We had a game plan; for the first 20 minutes we were on top, but lapses in concentration along with the sending off, really had a damaging effect.” FAN’S VIEW - MARTIN BAKER “We never gave up for the full 90, and despite a poor set of decisions by the officials we played the Tonbridge way and I can’t fault any of the team.”
