Casuals Denied Home Victory

Comeback King Steve Goddard

Attendance: 92
Report by Gary Weir

Steve Goddard's goal on 49 minutes provided the platform for an exciting second half which saw Sittingbourne draw level 20 minutes later to set up a tense finale on a cold and drizzly Tuesday evening at King George's Field.

Steve Goddard's comeback and presence was clearly evident. This was combined with the recently signed Spanish striker Pico Gomez showing encouraging signs of an interesting Casuals alternative strike force. Fully deserved of his goal, Goddard meandered down the left channel, brushed passed a Sittingbourne defender inside the box and clinically fired a low right footed shot into the keeper's far left handcorner consequently sending the fans behind the Tolworth Tower end into wild jubilation. 

Full credit to the Casuals faithful on the night who got behind the team straight from the moment the players emerged onto the pitch. The support from our faithful fans play such an important part in raising the atmosphere around the ground whilst lifting the spirit of the players during this difficult relegation battle.

Match Sponsor was The Connor Saunders Foundation who visited King George’s Field to present Corinthian-Casuals Football Club prior to kick off with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The portable electronic life saving device was presented to club chairman Mr Brian Vandervilt by the father of Connor Saunders whose son was tragically killed during an altercation in April of 2013.
