Shepway 3 Gravesham 2 (Scorers: Ferdinand, Komas (pen.))
The Stadium, Church Road, Folkestone. CT20 3EN 10.30am kick off
Gravesham travelled to Folkestone with a bare 11 players, and once Riley Ingram aggravated an injury in the warm up Gravesham were forced to play the whole game with 10 players. Despite this, and playing up a significant slope in the first half, Gravesham started brightly and produced plenty of good football. Indeed the visitors were unfortunate when Max Ferdinand collected a through ball and finished clinically but was offside. Shepway then put Gravesham under considerable pressure for 15 minutes and scored three times, firstly on a break and then with two penalties. The ten men of Gravesham came out in the second half, and once more played some great football before deservedly reducing the deficit when Max Ferdinand calmly played the ball past the home 'keeper after receiving a delicious through ball. Things then became more difficult when Frankie Datlin had to be withdrawn following a hamstring injury, forcing Gravesham to play the last 20 minutes with just nine players. The pack was rearranged and Gravesham played a 3-4-1 formation for the remainder of the game. To Gravesham's credit they continued to enjoy their fair share of the game, and with five minutes remaining Italianas Komas was fouled in the penalty area and got him to confidently convert the penalty to the bottom corner. Although Gravesham had lost 3-2 there were plenty of positives to take from their first game of the season.

Medway 5 Gravesham 2 (Scorer: Flynn (2))
Greenacre Academy, Bradfields Avenue, Walderslade, Kent, ME5 0LE 10.30am kick off
Gravesham U14s made an excellent start when Paddy Flynn gave Gravesham the lead after just 3 minutes. Five minutes later Gravesham extended their lead when Italianas Komas made a delightful through pass to Paddy Flynn who scored after his first shot was saved by the Medway goalkeeper. However, Gravesham failed to focus following their goal and conceded themselves within a minute of the restart. Both teams created chances and Lewis Watts was called on to make a good diving save. Medway then equalised on the stroke of half-time to make the score 2-2. The second half started evenly but Gravesham then had a disappointing spell conceding three goals in 14 minutes. Gravesham did then r-establish themselves in the game and created some half chances in the last ten minutes but were unable to convert any, losing the game 5-2.
