Four Wins, a Draw and a Washout: West Kent's SCEFL Weekend Round-Up
Five of West Kent's six SCEFL clubs were in Premier Division action on Saturday, with Rusthall and Larkfield & New Hythe both winning away from home and Snodland Town holding league leaders Fisher to a goalless draw. It wasn't as kind to Bearsted or Tunbridge Wells, who both lost at home, the latter in a seven-goal thriller. Staplehurst Monarchs' First Division game against Halls AFC, meanwhile, was called off after a late pitch inspection found the Jubilee Ground waterlogged following heavy morning rain.
