SEVENOAKS TOWN  3-3  MARGATE
Isthmian League South East Division
Saturday 5 April 2025
Stephen McCartney reports from Greatness Park

MARGATE player-manager Ben Greenhalgh says his side have reached their first target of the season as he aims to win promotion from the Isthmian League South East Division at the first attempt via the play-offs.

 

Margate have consolidated fourth-place in the table, while Sevenoaks Town manager Marcel Nimani picked up the Manager of the Month award in the week and he broke the curse by avoiding defeat and extending their unbeaten run to nine games which has seen them rise into the top eight.

The sun-kissed crowd of 239 were treated to an entertaining game at Greatness Park, with Sevenoaks Town scoring from three set-pieces on a windy day.

Attacking midfielder Daniel Duncanson gave the hosts an early lead before Greenhalgh, 32, levelled just 132 seconds later to score his 16th goal of the season.

Margate striker Ibrahim Olutade then rolled in his 24th goal of the season before Sevenoaks Town winger James Bessey-Saldanha scored against his old club.

Margate central midfielder Harvey Brand then swept in his ninth goal of the season but Sevenoaks Town restored parity through an emphatic finish from Keven Diomande but this was a case of two points dropped for Margate, now unbeaten in five games.

“Based on the performance display, I felt a fair result,” said Nimani.

“I was quite proud of the first half performance and we started the better team.  We conceded two poor goals but get character to get back to two-all and we probably had more chances to win the first half.

“I did think the opposition were better in the second half so on balance of play, I’d say it’s a fair result.

“From our perspective we went out there all guns blazing to win this game of football, even in the last two minutes, so from our perspective the pressure was on to win the game of football and we wanted to win today.”

Greenhalgh gave his thoughts on the game that he played a key role in.

“I think the three goals we let in were really poor and at poor times, when we were 2-1 up and 3-2 up. We should’ve pushed on and we did push on and we didn’t score the goals that we needed to at that point and we’ve let in three really poor set-pieces, which hasn’t been us all season.

“We obviously did miss Knighty in those areas but not to say Emmanuel Oke came in and Eman had a brilliant game but set-pieces, we just lacked a bit of dominance today, not just because Knighty went out, just a team. I was very critical about that.”

Margate were without Scottish born centre-back Lewis Knight, 32, who was serving the first of his three match suspension after picking up 15 bookings and they had three central defenders in the shape of Harrison Hatfull (right), Emmanuel Oke (centre) and Harry Hudson (left).

The ball was like a hot potato at the start of this Kent derby, with Margate creating their first opening following their first of eight corners (5:22).

Greenhalgh floated in a left-footed corner from the left towards Brand, who steered his header past the right-hand post.

Sevenoaks Town were clinical in front of goal, taking the lead with nine minutes and 3 seconds on the clock.

Joshua Wisson played a short free-kick to left-back Tom Hanfrey, who floated a deep cross towards the back post where centre-half Ryan Sawyer knocked his free header across the face of goal and an unmarked Duncanson stabbed the ball over the line from close range.

“Yes, it was a good move that. I was ever so pleased with our set-piece delivery today, the attacking side of it and felt it was nice for us to be on the receiving end of scoring set-pieces today,” said Nimani.

Greenhalgh added: “We just weren’t set up quick enough and Brandon (Davey) found himself with two men and it was one of them.  The harsh reality, the one man that he went with and it was the other man that scored, so the other man the ball fell to, so that was unlike us.

“We weren’t switched on quick enough for it and it was so disappointing to go down but I think our reaction from there was good and we got back to 2-1.”

Margate went direct and swiftly restored parity, the leveller coming with 11 minutes and 15 seconds on the clock.

Hudson (who shares the name of Sevenoaks Town’s former manager and Tunbridge Wells also have a defender called Harry Hudson) hit a long ball out of defence, the ball was chased by Olutade within the left channel, who played the ball inside to winger Tushaun-Tyresse Walters, who floated in a cross. The ball was headed away by Oaks’ centre-half Jahmal Howlett-Mundle and Greenhalgh took a touch before rifling his right-footed drive across the keeper to find the far corner from 15-yards.

“I’m still trying to claim 17! I’m having banter with the squad because I know there was one goal against Erith which was over the line and mine but Ibs (Olutade) stole it off me somehow. It got put down on Football Web Pages as him,” explained Greenhalgh.

“It’s what we sort of worked on about getting crosses into the box. We’re that sort of team and TT (Walters) put a good enough ball in and I managed to get on the end of it and score it, so a great reaction and I think the game was ours to take from there.”

Nimani added: “I mean, I was more disappointed in the way, it was a free-kick or a throw-in that we gave away, so that could’ve been nullified.

“Margate are very good, they’ve got three or four specific patterns of play and if you don’t deal with it, you pay the consequences and they’re just very good, very effective in their style.”

This was an open game and a big kick upfield from Margate goalkeeper Tom Wray sent Olutade into the Sevenoaks box and after winning a tussle with Oaks other centre-half Ryan Sawyer, his shot on the turn was gobbled up by goalkeeper  Jordan Perrin, low to his right.

“Ibs caused them a massive problem for them today and he deserved the goal he got. He might’ve scored more. He wanted more but he caused a big problem and it’s such a shame we didn’t make the most of it,” added the Margate boss.

Margate took the lead, following a mistake from Perrin, with 22 minutes and 28 seconds on the clock.

Perrin’s kick upfield was met by Brand’s free bullet header (35 yards from goal) straight back down the middle and Olutade outmuscled Sawyer and rolled his right-footed shot past the advancing goalkeeper, the ball rolling into the bottom right-hand corner, as the big striker fell to the ground.

“That’s what Ibs has been good at. I think people don’t understand how much of a handful and fast he can be and in those areas, he really gets in and around the centre-half and managed to get around the goalie to score, so it was a typical Ibs goal. He made it himself and caused a problem,” said Greenhalgh.

“We know how effective that was becoming. Dez (Tom Derry) causing problems up there in the air and Ibs in behind, so we kept working with it.”

Nimani added: “Jordan could’ve kicked the ball better but we needed to be better alerted. It wasn’t the goalkeeper scored them the goal, it’s our reaction when they’ve won the header and then the second.  We just needed to be better alerted. 

“Just like any outfield player, a goalkeeper can miss-place a kick, just like an outfield player can miss-place a pass. It’s all part of the game.”

Margate then enjoyed a spell of dominance on the artificial pitch, with Oke recycling the ball back into a crowded Sevenoaks box and targetman Tom Derry’s towering header was plucked out of the air by Perrin.

And on the half-hour, Greenhalgh floated in a left-footed free-kick from within the left-channel and Oke’s directed his free header over the crossbar from the centre of the penalty area.

However, Sevenoaks Town grabbed an equaliser with 31 minutes and 30 seconds on the clock, following their first of six corners.

Left-back Hanfrey swung the ball in with his left-foot from the right and Wray used two hands to poorly punch the ball away whilst under pressure. The ball fell within a crowd of players at the back post and Bessey-Saldanha turned the ball into the bottom right-hand corner from inside the six-yard box to open his goalscoring account for the Oaks.

“It’s good to get James scoring. He’s been contributing well in the assists side but he’s not scored yet, so I’m happy that he’s got his goal today,” said Nimani.

“I will be reinforcing the first-half. I was pleased and I felt that it was deserved to get that equaliser.”

When asked about the open nature of the game, Nimani replied: “They have two strikers and two very attacking midfielders so obviously they pin you in and they do leave a lot of gaps in behind and they were very good on the counter-attack, so it was just defending deep and hitting them on the counter, so yes it was quite an open end-to-end game.”

Greenhalgh added: “Bessey’s scored goals in the past, probably the one type of goal he doesn’t normally score, a second ball into the corner, but he’s managed to get in front of his player and put it in the corner.

“We said to Tom, Tom probably could’ve pushed it away more but it’s one of them. I don’t think it was probably the set-piece out of them all where it’s hard to put too much blame on because where he’s got that flicked on players’ are maybe slightly off their men and Bessey has just got in front and toed it in, so just disappointing that it was a from a set-piece again.”

Margate’s left-wing-back Kai Garande hurled his second long throw into the Sevenoaks Town box and the ball fell to Greenhalgh on the edge of the box and his first time right-footed drive was held by Perrin, low to his right.

“We got in good areas and we got in to good shooting positions and I think we should’ve capitalised more but I think there were more set-pieces that we actually should’ve capitalised on,” said Greenhalgh.

“The ball was fired across the box a lot and I think there were the ones – we said at half-time – we should be getting on the end off and similar to last week we got on the end of one but could’ve got on the end of three or four and could’ve scored three or four (during our 3-0 home win over Hythe Town), so that’s where we were a bit critical of ourselves.”

Nimani added: “Jordan made some outstanding saves but I’ll tell you what, Jordan’s very good at today is dealing with their corners because they were just pinning Jordan in with in-swing corners, real low, real deep corners and I felt Jordan was a giant today dealing with them.”

Sevenoaks Town were denied with the last kick of the first half, following another set-piece.

Hanfrey launched a long throw into the box from within the channel and Sammie McLeod flicked the ball on and the ball looped over Wray and was sliced off the line by Margate defender Hudson.

Nimani said: “How that didn’t go in??!! But I suppose that’s what, when you have good defenders like the opposition do, it was a great clearance wasn’t it?

“Any other chances, that goes in but Jahmal made exactly the same thing in the second half when he cleared off the line.”

Greenhalgh added: “It was a bit of a nothing moment. It was a bit of a flukey moment and suddenly the ball was nearly going in our goal and that was an odd one and that’s something as a team that we need to get hold off.

“We can’t let moments like that happen, especially at that moment before half-time. We’ve been very good before half-time, after half-time and before full-time all season and we’ve scored a lot of goals in those phases so if we had let that in, that would’ve been very frustrating!”

Both manager’s were asked their thoughts at the interval.

Nimani said: “Just about maintaining, maintaining and we looked at how to deal with their two strikers and their two central midfielders because they were causing us a lot of problems, so we looked to address that.

“I felt that with the exception of the goal that we conceded, we dealt with it really well.

“I felt in the second half, the opposition were superior and they showed why they’re play-off contenders. I felt they pinned us in there, long balls into the two strikers, who were just so strong against our two centre-backs and our two centre-backs did really well to cope with them.”

Greenhalgh revealed assistant manager Adam Flanagan gave them the hairdryer treatment inside the away dressing room at the interval.

“We were quite critical. I think Flan went in, I think that was the most annoyed this season I’ve seen Flan to be honest because we were very critical about the attacking side of the set-pieces.

“I felt that today we should’ve scored more attacking set-pieces and we build our team on set-pieces so the fact the way we look at it at half-time we were 2-0 down on set-pieces and we haven’t scored any, which we should have and we’ve let in two, which is something that we shouldn’t do, so we were very critical.

“I think it set a rocket up everyone and we came out second half firing.”

Margate did come out with all guns blazing at the start of the second half.

The away side went very close to taking the lead after 88 seconds when Brand played the ball into Olutade inside the final third, while Derry threaded the ball through to Greenhalgh, whose left-footed shot went across the keeper and flashed just past the foot of the far post from 17-yards.

Margate deservedly took the lead for the second time in the game, scoring their third goal with five minutes and 12 seconds on the clock.

Garande threw the ball short back to Hudson, who took a touch before whipping in a deep cross towards the back post from the left.

Derry rose at the back post and knocked the ball down and the ball dropped for Brand, who swept his shot across the diving keeper to find the bottom far corner from 12-yards.

“I think that was causing problems all day. Derry was causing a lot of problems up there, Ibs was causing problems and it was a composed finish from Harvey,” said Greenhalgh.

“But the most important thing was he was in a good position of getting second balls and at 3-2 it looked like we were going to go on and win the game.”

Nimani added: “It was actually one of our players, it came off one of our players and they put the ball through to them so we could’ve defended that a lot better.

“Even started how we conceded the throw-in. I felt that our right-back should’ve cleared it, rather than try to play it and they got a throw-in out of nothing, which lead to the goal.”

Oke launched a long ball out of Margate’s defence and Sevenoaks goalkeeper Perrin came to the edge of his box to thwart Olutade and the ball fell to Greenhalgh, whose left-footed chip from inside the D was cleared off the line by a composed Howeltt-Mundle (7:27).

“I think looking back on it because I hit it into the wind, I should’ve just rifled it. I should’ve tried to smash it,” admitted Greenhalgh.

“There was a player in front of me but maybe I should’ve put more on it but I put it over him and I think everyone stopped thinking it was going in and the wind just held the ball. I think the centre-half originally stopped and noticed it wasn’t going in and went to clear it off the line.

“It’s an opportunity I put myself down to normally score and you never know at 4-2 – with the offside decision – I think the game might’ve been put to bed.”

There was an air of controversy when Greenhalgh recycled the ball back into the crowded Sevenoaks box, the ball was played back towards his own goalkeeper by Sawyer and Olutade pounced and swept his shot into the net only for senior assistant referee Matthew Willams to raise his offside flag, much to Greenhalgh’s frustration both on the pitch and during the post-match press conference.

“I think at 3-2, the referee’s decision, is one of the worse I’ve seen all season,” claimed the Margate boss.

“Their player has kicked it through to Ibs and Ibs has scored, so for me I get why the lino might give it, he might not seen who’s kicked it but the referee is on his toes, the referee has to over-rule that.

“I’m not saying we’ll definitely win the game at 4-2 but 4-2 is obviously a different game than 3-2. It gave them hope and they scored another goal.”

Nimani added: “It was offside! I don’t know, if that’s what the opposition are saying, I can understand why they’re frustrated but from my perspective the guy was offside! 

“The referee blew the whistle before he scored the goal, which meant that my team stopped playing before he actually scored the goal.”

Margate were in control and comfortable and Wray rolled the ball short to Oke, who launched a long ball towards the edge of the Sevenoaks box.  The ball was knocked down by Derry and Greenhalgh sliced his left-footed volley harmlessly wide of the far post from 25-yards in the 62nd minute.

Nimani made a double-substitution, bringing on attacking midfielder James Jeffrey and Hanson Itauma, who started at left-wing before slotting in at right-back and right-back Diomande was pushed further forward on the wing.

Margate switched off again as Sevenoaks Town grabbed an equaliser with 23 minutes and 56 seconds on the clock, from another set-piece, their fifth corner of the game.

Hanfrey’s right-wing corner was rolled back to Itauma (who wasn’t pressed by any Margate player) and he put in a cross with his right-foot into a crowded box and the ball was knocked down by McLeod and Diomande cracked his right-footed volley into the near corner from seven-yards.

Nimani said: “It was a good move. I felt that with them changing shape, we just didn’t want to be a case where they keep beating our centre-halves. We changed the shape to compensate for their shape. I felt it worked.

“We got the equaliser. I felt the subs, when they came on brought some energy. We made the change at the right time.

“It was an end-to-end game, evenly balanced game. It was just a case of who was going to be more clinical in front of goal.”

Greenhalgh added: “Same as the other two goals, all three goals are the same! They won the first contact, knocked towards goal but knocked back down and we’ve lost a runner.

“We’re going to look back at the footage. People have already opened up to losing the runners, which is fair play, but it’s just not good enough at the moment, so we’re going to look at why those situations were happening and we’ll go through that on Tuesday at training.”

Margate kept Sevenoaks’ 29-goal striker Warren Mfula mostly quiet but he played a part in the home side almost grabbing the lead as the game headed towards the final 15 minutes.

Sawyer hit a long ball out of defence into the right-channel and Mfula cut into the box and reached the by-line before cutting the ball back for McLeod, whose shot from six-yards was blocked by the advancing Wray and Mfula’s follow-up shot deflected off Hudson on the line at the near post and went behind for a corner.

“We should’ve scored one of the two, yes. That was my….We’ve got to score one of those two,” insisted Nimani, who heaped praise on his talisman striker.

“Warren Mfula does not need anybody to speak about him and anything I’ll say, he's a terrific guy to work with. He’s been a brilliant individual to work with and I’m ever so proud of him.”

Greenhalgh added: “It was a good chance for them and do you know what, with the way that the game was going, it wouldn’t surprise me if they had gone and scored that and nicked it.

“It was a bit of a mistake from us where we’ve let Mfula get behind but do you know what? There is a positive element to our defence today, they kept him quiet. He’s a good forward and they kept him quiet all game.”

Hanfrey swung in the resulting corner from the right and the quiet winger Jordan Ababio found a pocket of space at the near-post to glance his header across the keeper and past the far post.

Margate bossed the final exchanges of this game and had chances to claim the three points.

The impressive Olutade hit an angled drive, which was blocked by Perrin, as Margate’s holding midfielder Brandon Davey joined the attack in the final third.

Greenhalgh delivered a deep cross with his right-foot which saw Derry rise above Hanfrey to steer his header past the right-hand post in the 79th minute.

Ben Allen came off the bench to give Margate a narrow front three with Olutade (left), Allen (centre) and Derry (right) with Greenhalgh switching to play in behind them in the middle.

Margate kept knocking on the door and Greenhalgh took a touch before cracking a left-footed 35-yard drive towards the top left-hand corner, which Perrin dived high to his right to palm the ball over his crossbar.

“It was a good save. I think we were at that point where you’re getting a lot of ball around the edge of the box and almost you don’t want to shoot because we had a lot of options going forward at this point,” explained Greenhalgh, who was playing out wide on the right before Flanagan’s tactical switch after Allen’s introduction.

“It sat up well for me and I hit it well and it was a good save. It gave us another opportunity at a corner and frustratingly we didn’t put the ball in the back of the net after that.”

The Oaks manager simply replied: “It looked a flying save but it was quite a standard save from Jordan!”

Hatful swung in the resulting corner from the left and Greenhalgh jumped up to head past the right-hand post.

Margate then hit Sevenoaks Town on an injury-time counter-attack as Howlett-Mundle opened the gate but Allen’s right-footed drive flashed past the diving keeper and just past the foot of the left-hand post.

“Ben (Allen) came on and was lively. It’s the same as myself, Ibs, Dez and Ben in those moments, you want one of us to score the goal to finish the game off,” added the Margate manager.

Nimani added: “It’s a fair result. We wanted to win the game. We had the chances to win the game. We could’ve easily defended the three goals that we conceded so on hindsight we should’ve won the game but on the balance of play, it’s a fair result.

“I’m very pleased with that (run of nine games unbeaten). We’ve also equalled the club record now, the highest number of points ever scored from Sevenoaks (in the Isthmian League), which was 58 points.  When you consider how ambitious some of the previous teams have been, I’m proud of the boys that we’ve done that in our first year.”

With four league games remaining, Ramsgate have picked up 102 points from their 38 games and are still on course of winning the title.

Sittingbourne (95 points), Burgess Hill Town (83), Margate (77 points – 22 wins, 11 draws and five defeats) and Merstham (70 points) remain in the play-off zone.

Beckenham Town (65 points but with a game in hand), Three Bridges (62), Sevenoaks Town (58 points – 16 wins, 10 draws and 12 defeats), Deal Town (56) and Sheppey United (54) make up the top 10.

Sevenoaks Town have equalled their highest points tally in this division and they complete their campaign against Phoenix Sports (away, 12 April), Broadbridge Heath (home, 19 April), Merstham (away, 21 April) and Sheppey United (home, 26 April).

Down at the bottom, Littlehampton Town (37 points) appear to be safe, while Phoenix Sports (29 points) are on the verge of relegation back into the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division.

Their manager Darren Anslow will have the unwanted statistic of relegating two clubs in two seasons, Beckenham Town finished beneath the line but were reprieved last season.

Nick Davis has relegated Hythe Town (22 points) today following their 5-2 home defeat to Merstham – and the Cannons have suffered their first ever relegation, while Lancing (21) and Steyning Town Community (19) drop down to the Southern Combination League Premier. 

This was Steyning’s first campaign at this level and Lancing suffered a 9-1 humilation away to James Collins' Herne Bay, who are safe in the bottom six on 41 points but with a game in hand.

Looking ahead to their trip to Phoenix Sports, Nimani warned, “It’s going to be tough. It’s really difficult to play teams at this point of the season when they’ve got something to play for.

“Phoenix have some great players. I want to watch them against Beckenham and they’re a very good side. I think if Phoenix have a good day in front of goal, they could put teams to the sword because they create a lot of chances.  They’re a very good side, they’ve just struggled to convert their opportunities and I think if we’re not on our A Game, it could be a really poor day for us.

“Our target for the last four is to win every single one of them and just see where the season takes us. 

“There’s no point, no game do I go in to try anything new. We’ve got our systems of play, we’ve got the players now and just testing the players who I am going to keep around and who I’m not going to keep around for next season but I do feel we’re building something quite strong here.

“I’m very proud of the way, since the turn of the year, January onwards, I’m so proud of the players. I’m so proud of the players that have come in and have brought into the project. I’m so proud of the management team and how we’ve  conducted ourselves through the tough time. We’ve had some difficult, not long difficult times, but we’ve had some difficult moments and connected as a group. We’ve dealt with it really well.

“We’re in a good place. It’s just a shame we’ve started this (unbeaten run) five games too late. I think if we had another 10 games to go, I’ll be very confident for those play-off spots.

“I would be happy if we do finish top eight at the end of the season. I think that’s a remarkable achievement for us considering where we started. We started with one player from the previous, different infrastructure to the previous teams, so I’m proud.

“But you can’t also help to feel frustrated because I believe that’s our seventh home draw. Each of those draws we could’ve won, so I think when I reflect back on some of those draws, I can’t help but feel we could’ve done better.

“We will always attack and will always score goals (75), probably expected some of the players to score more than that, defensively speaking, we should’ve conceded less (74).”

Margate, meanwhile, end their campaign with games against Merstham (away, 12 April), Beckenham Town (home, 18 April, 13:00), Ramsgate (away, 21 April) and Ashford Untied (home, 26 April).

Greenhlagh, who is Academy manager at Isthmian League Premier Division side Dartford, pointed out that Dartford are top of the table on 77 points from 38 games, while Margate are in fourth-place in the division below on the same number of points from their 38 games.
 
“I think two points dropped but Sevenoaks are a good team. Marcel’s done something really good down here but I did feel like today was ours for the taking and momentum would’ve been better if we had won the game,” added Greenhalgh.

“If we win (at Merstham) we’ve got our position in the play-offs, so that’s a great incentive for us. 

“We would’ve taken at the start of the season to be sitting in fourth and with four games to go to have an opportunity to guarantee play-offs but they’re good games to have at this stage.  I think knowing that we’ve got four difficult games, I think they’re really good games for us to have to give us an opportunity – if we get in to the play-offs – it gives us an opportunity having to play some proper opponents.

“Ashford will be up for it – if we leave it to the last game. They’ll definitely be up for it to rain on our parade but they’re the games you want at this stage of the season, especially if you’ve got something to play for.

“Our target of the year was to get 75 points and get in a play-off position. I think that would get in the play-offs but if you look at the top five or six teams, the points have been very high this year and you look at the top two teams they’re absolutely pulling away with it.

“We actually said if we got a two-points target per game, you’d be challenging for the league. If you look at the league above, I think we’ve got the same points as Dartford and they’re top of the league but our league this year, Ramsgate and Sittingbourne have put ridiculous ratios to it.

"We’ve got to focus on ourselves. We’ve hit our target. Our next target would be 84 points and that would be a brilliant target to reach.”

There are two blockbuster Isthmian League South East Division games this month - Ramsgate v Margate in front of a sell-out crowd on Easter Monday and Sittingbourne v Ramsgate on the final day.

“We’re looking forward to it. By then Ramsgate may have wrapped up the league and I think they deserve it. The point ratio they’ve got and it’s their fourth season of giving it a proper go and this is our first season and I think we’ve really put a really good target and a really good mark for our team to show where we’re going and we’re going in the right direction, so we can’t focus too much on Ramsgate.  The main thing is do we compete with them when we play them and the answer so far has been yes,” added Greenhalgh.
