Kent Non-League Podcast - Episode 329

A sad week in Kent non-league with the passing of Sheppey United manager Ernie Batten - his assistant manager and lifelong friend Geoff Record joins us to pay tribute to the man who was instrumental in bringing football back to the Isle of Sheppey, led the Ites to the FA Cup first round and so much more - Geoff tells us about Ernie the man, Ernie the player and his impact on the Island. On the field, there was a crucial win for Snodland Town at the foot of the SCEFL and manager Luke Jessup reflects on a great week for the club, the warm welcome he has received and hails his young backline after their first clean sheet of the season. On the flip side, it was a tough afternoon for Lordswood joint-boss Ross Wiles after his side came up short, and he admits they need to be better at both ends of the pitch after a result which leaves them deep in relegation trouble. Chatham Town continued their good form with victory at Dover and boss Kevin Hake discusses the battle for the play-off places and the importance of finishing the season strongly even if they don't make it. There's all the rest of the news from across the county after a busy week, with a rare win for Ebbsfleet United and a change in the dugout at Welling United, plus a potentially crucial points deduction at the top of the SCEFL. And we've still got the usual chat and nonsense too, including car washes, five years on since lockdown and the end of the 5.30am disco mystery... Hosted on Acast.
