Lordswood’s midweek game with Faversham in the SCEFL Premier Division ended goalless and the two teams meet again this Saturday in the Kent Senior Trophy

Lordswood produced a great performance to earn a point against title-favourites Faversham on Tuesday night and get to play them again on Saturday.

The SCEFL Premier Division game against Faversham at Martyn Grove ended goalless but it might have been even better for Matt Barman’s men, with striker James Jeffrey having a penalty saved and David Falako hitting an effort off the woodwork.

Recent addition Lewis Mingle played his first full match for Lordswood on Tuesday night, adding much-needed experience to a young team. He was a big help for them against a side fancied by many to take the SCEFL Premier Division title this season.

“We worked so hard, we fought
