After an earlier meeting in the season where Highfield United beat Troggs 1-0 - you just knew it would be a very different game
this time with Troggs fielding their strongest team of the season so far. Highfield got about there job early and for the first 25
minutes could have been 3 or 4 goals up. The break through came, when Lloyd Dehara skipped past the last defender and
held him off to coolly lob the on rushing goal keeper. Troggs hadn't troubled the Highfield defence once but netted twice within
minutes to put them 2-1 up when a lapse in concentration saw Highfield get punished.
Highfield equalised when Sammy crossed for Jonty Venter to head in at the far post to make it 2-2 at Half-time. In the second
half Highfield again dominated the play but again found them selves going a goal behind when Mick Lunn's clearance was
volley into the roof of the net by Richard Moon of Troggs. Highfield got themselves back in the game again when Luke
Henderson broke through and beat the offside trap to net from close range. With Minutes to go Highfield gambled and pushed
for the win and eventually it game when a cross into the box found Jonty Venter all alone with the keeper to beat which he
did to win the game and put Highfield 4-3 up and into second place in the Premier Division with only last years winners Market
above them. Man of the Match was Daryl Steatham

Daryl Steatham
Highfield United's 22 games unbeaten run finally came to an end after they lost their first game in the League to Bromley Green
2-1. Bromley had the better start and had the majority of possession but it was Highfield that struck first when Sam's pass split
the Bromley defence apart for Daryl Steatham to run 40 yards on to the ball and slip the ball under the on rushing keeper. It was
not long Before Bromley equalised though, when a throw in was not cleared and the ball fell kindly to the Bromley Captain to
smash the ball home from 12 yards.
In the second half the game was much more even with both sides having half chances to take the lead but with minutes to go on
the clock it was Bromley that got the winner when Dan from Bromley Green suspiciously looking offside broke free and chipped
the Highfield keeper.

Its been a long winter with Highfield having played only twice in 16 weeks and with still players missing through injury and work
commitments Highfield had a different line up in defence with Asa Mckenzie fitting in at Right back and Luke Henderson
playing centre back. Neither team started particularly well with most of the first half being a midfield battle and long balls being
played, but it was Highfield that got the break through, when Danny Taylor whipped the ball into the box for Darryl Steatham to
force the ball into the net from close range.
There were chances at both ends, the better ones falling to Highfield who couldn't capitalise on them before the break.
In the second half a free kick given near the corner flag for Mersham was curled straight into the far corner of the net by
M Howells to level the game up. But within minutes a corner for Highfield was headed in by Jonty Venter to but Highfields back
into a 2-1 lead. As the game went on chance after chance for both teams went bye and in the dying seconds of the game
Mersham should have leveled the game and taken it into extra time, only to see their goal bound effort go over the cross bar
from 3 yards out.
Man of the Match for Highfield F.C. was Jonty Venter
