Tonbridge Angels face a long midweek trip to Somerset to face Weston-super-Mare with both teams looking to build on wins on Saturday.
Squad News: Alan Dunne was impressed with those he brought into the starting line up on Saturday; competition for a starting place is fiercely competitive. Yesterday saw the departure of Arthur Penney and Laurie Shala from the club.
Recent Form: Both teams come into the game off the back of wins on Saturday with Weston-super-Mare, who sit just outside the play-offs, beating Hampton & Richmond Borough two-nil. With games in hand on those above them, The Seagulls will be hoping for another positive result to push them into the play-offs and make it four consecutive home wins.
Last Meeting: The Seagulls travelled to Kent in late October as league leaders and left with a point as both teams cancelled each other out with the game ending 0-0 with, in truth, very few chances for each side. Last season, we were leading 1-0 at The Optima Stadium, under the guidance of Scott Wagstaff, thanks to Taylor Maloney’s wonderstrike before the game was abandoned due to a medical emergency. We then visited just a few days later where a depleted Angels side lost 3-0 in the rearranged fixture.
Men to watch:
Dan Ellison: Dan is on loan from Yeovil Town whom he joined from Bristol Rovers in October. Dan is well known in the NLS and it was his form with Chippenham Town that led to his move into the Football League with The Pirates.
Luke Coulson: A player well known to Angels fans for his time spent at Kent rivals, Dartford. Luke moved to the West Country ahead of the 2024/25 season and in his first season for the Seagulls scored 23 times and assisted 22 goals.
Louis Britton: The joint-2nd top scorer in the NLS this season, Louis will be one Angels need to watch out for. After leaving Bristol City in 2022, the striker enjoyed spells at Maldon & Tiptree and Bristol Manor Farm before joining Weston in March 2025.
