South Park thumped by Folkestone

South Park were given a hiding by Folkestone Invicta at Whitehall Lane on Tuesday night.

Park have now played four of the five teams above them in Ryman League Division One South, and lost all four.

Three goals in 12 first half minutes put the result beyond doubt.

Folkestone offered the home side little in the way of possession or chances in the opening 45 minutes and deservedly led 3-0 at the interval.

Only a good punch from Kieran Campbell stopped Ian Draycott from getting on the end of a good Paul Booth cross, while Jordan Wright hit the side netting from a tight angle before Invicta did open the scoring.

The first was probably the goal of the night as well. Matt Newman sent a free-kick into the penalty spot where Booth controlled and turned and fired an unstoppable volley into the far corner of the net.

Five minutes later it was 2-0 when Jon Pilbeam tricked his way into a crossing position and found Draycott, who managed to squeeze a volley past his marker and also past Campbell.

And Draycott doubled his tally ten minutes before the break when he scampered onto a loose ball and with Campbell inexplicably rushing out, the frontman beat the keeper to it, rounded him and slotted into the empty net.

The second half was a procession as a result of the 3-0 scoreline at half-time.

The home side had a bit more of the ball and tried to work their way into good positions, but Invicta were offering up nothing at the back.

Park almost gave the visitors an own goal with Daniel Guscott hitting an attempted clearance at Jack Stafford, but the ball drifted wide, while Campbell made a fine save to push a deflected Draycott effort round his post.

Justin David headed over the bar for the hosts and substitute Michael Smith tried an audacious effort with the outside of his right boot from 35 yards that was not far over.

But that was as good as it got for Park.

Pilbeam ballooned a glorious chance over the crossbar before Booth coolly slotted home after Pilbeam flashed an effort across the face of goal.

And Wright put the icing on the Folkestone cake with a fifth six minutes from time, firing in at the near post at what seemed like the third attempt after having one saved and another blocked.
