NEXT FIRST TEAM GAME

WIN PRETTY, WIN UGLY

Stansfeld v South East Athletic

20 December 2025

The First Team ensured the Christmas celebrations would be merry by overcoming a heavy pitch to claim a victory in the final game of the year. The win seals a flawless November and December, leaving the visitors unbeaten in two months and brimming with momentum heading into the new year.

The conditions at Chislehurst were far from conducive to any quality displays of football with the difficult conditions stopping any rhythm from both sides. Despite the nine-point gap between the teams in the table, the hosts showed glimpses of being able to pose a threat. However, it was Agbor Sobeh who seized control early, firing home two clinical strikes to give us a commanding lead.

While we threatened to run riot in a dominant opening period, we failed to add a third before the interval. In Eddie Asika's absence, Michael Asika took the reins from the dugout. His halftime assessment was to the point, focusing on a lack of quality and ending in substitutions to sharpen the side’s edge.

The changes initially appeared to backfire. Within minutes of the restart, a lapse in concentration allowed Stansfeld to pull one back, shifting the momentum. But our response was sharp and prompt. After a quick adjustment in shape, substitute Mitchell Horne provided the game’s standout moment. Weaving through the Stansfeld back line on a solo run, Horne restored the two-goal cushion finishing from an acute angle.

The drama wasn't over, however. Stansfeld refused to lie down, clawing back a second goal to make it 3-2. With the hosts finding joy in behind our backline, the match was tense until Chris Weber settled things. Finishing with a half volley, Weber hammered the ball past the keeper to make it 4-2.

This time, we finally locked the door defensively, shutting down any late hopes of a Stansfeld miracle.

The result marks a significant milestone for us. No losses in November and December, 3 league wins and a progress to the Quarter-Finals of the Bill Manklow Inter-Regional Challenge Cup after victory on penalties against Peckham Town.

The squad now heads into the Christmas break for a well-earned rest before returning to action on the 3rd of January for a challenging away trip to Farnborough.

less talk, more cup drama

South East Athletic v Peckham Town

13 December 2025

The First Team booked their place in the quarter-final after a dramatic 2–2 draw with Peckham Town, triumphing 5–4 on penalties in a fiercely contested encounter.

Peckham came into the tie hoping for a change in fortunes after failing to beat us in their previous two meetings, but once again we proved a stubborn obstacle.

We started the match brightly and could have found ourselves two or even three goals ahead inside the opening 15 minutes, only to be denied by poor finishing. Against the run of play, it was Peckham who struck first. A defensive lapse gifted the visitors a clear opening, and they made no mistake with a simple finish.

We responded immediately - launching several waves of attack but struggled to find the final touch in front of goal. The first key moment of the game arrived when a robust challenge from Chris Weber ignited tempers, leading to Eddie Asika receiving a straight red card for running onto the pitch.

After the game settled, we continued to look the more dangerous side and eventually found the equaliser. A well-worked move was finished clinically by Agbor Sobeh to make it 1–1. The hosts pushed hard for a second before the break, but were let down by finishing.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with us on the front foot. We thought we had taken the lead when the ball hit the net, only for the goal to be chalked off for what appeared to be a dubious offside decision.

Persistence finally paid off when substitute Voke Oyeye produced a moment of quality, firing home a superb strike to put us 2–1 ahead. Peckham began to see more of the ball from that point, but despite their increased possession they rarely troubled our goal.

However, a lazy challenge in the box from Jesse Bonisehi handed Peckham a lifeline. The visitors capitalised, calmly slotting home the resulting penalty to level the score at 2–2.

The game became stretched in the closing stages, yet we still looked the more likely to find a winner. With no further goals, the contest was to be decided from the penalty spot.

Hakeem Brissett-Stewart set the tone with an emphatic opening penalty, followed by a cool finish from Chris Weber. Peckham’s third spot-kick was denied by captain Jack Fowler, who produced a brilliant save to swing the momentum.

Agbor Sobeh had the chance to put South East firmly in control but struck the crossbar, keeping the shootout finely balanced. Deris Sesay stepped up a dispatched his penalty. New signing Nad Nwitua followed suit and calmly converted, with Peckham responding to make it 4–4.

Memsur Gorda confidently dispatched his penalty to pile the pressure back on the visitors, and Jack Fowler wasn’t finished yet. The skipper produced another superb save to seal a 5–4 shootout victory and send us through after a truly spicy encounter.

A special mention goes to joint Player of the Match winners, Samuel Jones and Micah Willetts, who were outstanding from start to finish in a memorable cup tie.

A Peckham Coach was quoted saying “Talk is expensive” and we made them pay dearly for all their talk.

Next up, league action away to Stansfeld.

SEA victorious in Cup Clash

Greenwich All Stars v South East Athletic

29 November 2025

The first team booked their place in the third round of the Bill Manklow Inter-Regional Challenge Cup with a narrow 1–0 win over Greenwich All Stars.

The match offered few clear chances, but most fell to us as we seized control early and made it count.

The breakthrough came from a well-delivered corner, met powerfully by centre-back Connor Walsh, who guided his header into the net. From that moment on, we looked comfortable - controlling the tempo and limiting Greenwich to half-chances.

A late push from Greenwich All Stars raised the intensity, but they never truly threatened the equaliser. We saw out the final minutes with composure to secure our place in the next round where we face... Peckham Town.

The fixture will be the last at home for 2025 and will take place on Saturday, 13th of December.

SEA Edge Peckham Town in Tight Contest

Peckham Town v South East Athletic

22 November 2025

The First Team secured a hard-fought 1–0 win over Peckham Town at the Menace Arena, in a game that was decided by a single moment of quality in the first half.

Despite being the visitors, we started brightly and quickly imposed ourselves on the match. Peckham, however, almost struck first — denied only by a superb point-blank save from goalkeeper Jack Fowler, who kept us level early on.

Moments later, we made the pressure count. A well-worked move down the right-hand side ended with Thomas Coffey slotting home from close range to give us the lead.

The second half was a more subdued affair, with both sides creating but failing to convert their chances. Peckham’s hopes of finding an equaliser were dealt a blow late on when a player saw red for violent conduct, leaving the home side to finish with ten men.

Despite some late pressure from the Menace, we held firm to claim all three points and a valuable clean sheet on the road.

Late Goals in Narrow Defeat to Bermondsey Town

South East Athletic v Bermondsey Town

18 October 2025

We fell to a 2-1 defeat against Bermondsey Town, despite taking an early lead in a tightly contested match.

Chris Weber opened the scoring with a goal from 30 yards capitalising on early pressure to find the back of the net. The lead held strong for much of the game as we maintained control until half time.

However, Bermondsey Town fought back in the latter stages, equalising late before snatching the winner with less than 10 minutes to go. The comeback meant we left empty-handed for the second week in a row after a strong performance for most of the match.

The result will be a tough one to take, as we looked on course for a well-earned victory before Bermondsey’s late surge turned the game on its head.

We turn our attention to back-to-back fixtures against Farnborough at the start of next month.

equinoccial edge past in fiery league clash

Equinoccial v South East Athletic

11 October 2025

We suffered our first league defeat of the season in a spirited encounter against a well-organised Equinoccial side, falling 2–1 after a dramatic contest that truly was a tale of two halves.

The home team took advantage of two defensive lapses in the first half to establish a 2–0 lead at the break, despite creating few clear-cut chances.

SEA came out rejuvenated after halftime, quickly pulling one back through a Hakeem Brissett-Stewart penalty just five minutes into the second half. From there, it was all SEA, who poured forward relentlessly in search of an equaliser. Two goal-line scrambles and a desperate clearance off the line kept Equinoccial’s lead intact.

Despite dominating the closing stages, SEA couldn’t convert their pressure into goals, with the match ending 2–1 in favour of the league leaders.

It’s a first real setback of the season for SEA, but the performance in the second half showed plenty of fight and character to build on going forward.

PARKWOOD BLOWN AWAY

South East Athletic v Parkwood Rangers

4 October 2025

On a windy match day Saturday, the boys set out with one goal - 3 points. However, Parkwood Rangers opened the scoring early on with a penalty. Despite dominating possession in spells, we failed to capitalise on two huge chances in the first half and went into the break trailing.

However, the second half was a completely different story. We came out with intensity and turned the game around quickly with three quick goals in the first 15 minutes. The first was a penalty converted by Hakeem Brissett-Stewart. The second, a glancing header by Connor Walsh and a neat finish by Deris Sesay to end a great spell of possession.

With momentum firmly on our side, we continued to dominate and added two more goals through great patterns of play, finished by Hakeem and Deris securing a brace each.

This ultimately sealed an emphatic 5-1 win and secured the 3 points we set out to collect.

7 unbeaten in the league. Next up, Equinoccial.

NO REF? NO PROBLEM

Bromleians v South East Athletic

27 September 2025

A delayed kick off due to a referee no-show did not stop us from taking all three points in Bromley.

Abdul's thoughts: A last minute referee was found and Bromleians started brighter with a few half chances and an opportunity hitting the crossbar. However, we soon settled into the game, leading Glen Bain to pick up the ball showing excellent pace down the right. His delivery found Jesse Bonisehi who made a fantastic run to put us 1-nil up.

We controlled the second half of the game and created many chances to score. The substitutes made a difference with Chris Webber making his debut and creating as well but was unfortunate to not get on the score sheet as the woodwork and then the opposition keeper denied him.

Jacob Smale had a good game winning the ball back and breaking down plays as well as trying to create in the final third.

The result completed another amazing defensive display keeping our fourth clean sheet in 6 league games.

Next up, Parkwood Rangers.

Kings hill victorious

Kings Hill v South East Athletic

20 September 2025

It was defeat in the Kent Intermediate Challenge Shield as we fell at the first hurdle to Premier Division side, Kings Hill in a close encounter. It marks Eddie's first defeat at the helm and he will be looking for a quick turnaround this Saturday against Bromleians.

Eddie's thoughts: We matched up against them well. They had more of the ball but we had the better chances. The [Kings Hill] goalkeeper pulled off some amazing saves [to keep them in the game], we switched off and got punished. Star performance from Micah Willetts!

The side will regroup in training and prepare for league action and the trip to BR2. Eddie will still be without top scorer, Agbor Sobeh and Harry Aldridge (injury).

another clean sheet

South East Athletic v Peckham Town

6 September 2025

Another former Premier Division side fails to take all three points against us at home as we shut out Peckham Town in this league encounter.

With both teams vying for those promotion spots early on, the draw keeps us unbeaten but falling out of the top two spot for a while as we go into the cups.

Our next league fixture comes at the end of the month and a red card for striker, Agbor Sobeh, means he will now miss the rest of September's fixtures including the two back to back cup fixtures.

unbeaten in august

Bermondsey v South East Athletic

30 August 2025

A penalty converted by Hakeem was the difference between the two sides as Eddie's men continued their fine start to the 2025/26 season.

The 1-0 away win ensures the first team remained unbeaten in August claiming 10 out of a possible 12 points available and keeps us in second place as we head into September's fixture run.

With some players missing, a clean sheet against decent opposition will sit well with the management team as we push for promotion places early on.

We now prepare for the visit of fourth placed Peckham Town.

7 points out of 9

South East Athletic v Ide Hill

23 August 2025

Birthday boy Agbor gave the first team the lead going into half time in an even game against Ide Hill.

We dominated the first half though both teams had chances for goals hitting the woodwork a couple of times. However, it was a game of two halves as Ide Hill ramped up the pressure in the second half.

Saves from both goalkeepers kept the score line low but early in the second half, Ide Hill found a way through and rescued a point from the game.

A clear penalty claim for us was dismissed by the referee late on as we pushed for a winner.

The result keeps our unbeaten start to the season going and we look to take that form to Bermondsey on Saturday, 30th of August.

two out of two

South East Athletic v Langley Sports

20 August 2025

Goals from Agbor and Hakeem were enough to keep all three points in Kidbrooke as the first team kept up with the likes of Ide Hill, Peckham Town and Equinoccial.

The traditional midweek match day 2 win sees us currently joint top and secures Jack's first clean sheet of the season. He will be looking to add to that through the season.

The first team will need a quick rest as they face Ide Hill on the 23rd as 1st take on 2nd. Both sides have scored 7 and conceded 2 so there is currently nothing to separate the sides.

Ide Hill do have KCFL Premier experience having been relegated at the end of last season.

EDDIE'S WINNING START

Greenwich Allstars FC v South East Athletic

16 August 2025

Despite going a goal behind in the first minutes of the opening game of the season, Eddie Asika's first team went away with a 5-2 win against newcomers, Greenwich Allstars.

A brace from Agbor and goals by Glen, Hakeem and Memsur sealed all three points as we look ahead to the midweek home fixture against Langley Sports on the 20th of August 2025.
