A trip to Herne Bay is a match the Sheppey management team are relishing. The Ites are looking to get their league form back on track after successive weekend defeats, losing to Ramsgate and Margate inbetween a midweek draw at Merstham.
Those losses ended Sheppey’s six-game winning streak at the start of the Isthmian South East season. They picked up three points against Littlehampton Town last night (Tuesday) with an impressive 2-0 win, playing most of the match with 10 men, and head down the coast this Saturday, hoping for a repeat of last season’s 2-1 win at Winch’s Field.
Assistant boss Geoff Record, speaking ahead of their midweek match, said: “We had a couple of magnificent games with Herne Bay last year, especially down there when we won.
It was a brilliant end to end game. “It is one of my former clubs, I have played for them and managed them and I always look forward to going back there. “Myself and Ernie had time down there at the tail end of our playing careers and I went on to manage them for a few seasons.
