Kent Junior B Cup final: Selhurst 4 Chilham 2

Selhurst twice came from a goal down to beat Chilham and celebrate back-to-back Kent Cup triumphs.

They won Saturday’s B final at the Gallagher Stadium to go with last season’s success in the C showpiece.

Centre-half Ben Donaldson struck twice, and was named man-of-the-match, while Harry Williams, who also scored, lit up the final with his quick feet and creativity in attack.

Chilham twice got themselves in front against the run of play against a Selhurst side who bossed the game for large spells.

Canterbury & District League Chilham stuck to their task, working hard to stay in the game, but once Selhurst made it 2-2, they always looked likely to go on and win an entertaining final.

Selhurst lost a title decider in the Surrey South Eastern Combination League a fortnight ago but cleared their heads to claim another Kent Cup.

“We went about our last league game in a completely different way, we tried to sit off and it ended up going against us,” said manager Sid Diennad.

“Today, we tried to press high from the jump, we still conceded first, which is a bad habit of ours, but the boys kept with the gameplan and we found our mojo.

“We train a lot and work hard and I always felt the goals were coming.

“We worked well as a team and we were just patient today.

“We’ve had a very hard end of the season, losing the league, which for us is very important as a club.

“For the boys to bounce back from that is big for us.

“As long as we win one piece of silverware every season, I can’t complain. I think the boys did brilliant.

“Big up to Ben Donaldson to score twice from centre-half, I thought he and Harry were our best players but I couldn’t fault anyone.”
