Erith Town (A) - 22nd October 2024

By Josh Cole

A tricky Tuesday night away game for Margate as we travel to Erith Town for matchday #11!

Last time out we managed to get three points away at Sheppey United thanks to a hat-trick from Ibrahim Olutade. Read the match report from that game by clicking here.

OPPONENTS SEASON SO FAR:

Erith Town, coming up from the SCEFL league last season, currently sit in 7th on 18 points from 11 games. The Dockers started their season in the FA Cup extra preliminary round against Pagham at home, which they won 6-2. Then in the first league game at home to Ashford, they drew 3-3. Two away games came next, and both were losses to Merstham in the FA Cup preliminary round and Farnham in the FA Trophy preliminary round. Two back-to-back wins in the league clouded those losses as they beat Phoenix Sports at home (2-0) and Lancing away (0-1). Away at Holm Park Erith lost 3-1 in the league but they bounced back to beat AFC Croydon (3-0), then Sittingbourne (4-1) in the Velocity Cup second round and Hythe away in the league (0-5). Inconsistent form has hit Erith as of late though losing to both Herne Bay and Eastbourne away as well as Beckenham at home. They then drew away at Merstham and Sevenoaks but won on home soil against Deal.
