Phoenix travel to Faversham Strikeforce on Saturday

Phoenix Sports hit the road this Saturday (3pm) as they travel to Whitstable Town, the shared home of, Faversham Strikeforce, looking to extend their impressive run of form and keep their play-off push alive.

Jake Goodman’s side are currently the league’s form team, with six wins from their last seven matches, and they come into this fixture full of confidence following an excellent 3-1 victory over Chislehurst Glebe last time out.

That run has lifted Phoenix into sixth place in the table, and with only a handful of matches remaining, the equation is simple: continue winning, and a late surge into the play-off positions is firmly within reach.

Recent performances have showcased Phoenix at their attacking best. They’ve scored four or more goals in several recent fixtures, including emphatic wins over Rusthall, Hollands & Blair and Snodland Town.

However, Saturday’s trip will present a different kind of challenge. Faversham Strikeforce have secured their step five status and will be keen to test Phoenix’s credentials, particularly on home soil.

Team news sees Phoenix still without long-term absentee Harry Smart as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.

With confidence high, goals flowing and the play-offs still within reach, Phoenix know what is required. Another three points on Saturday would not only extend their superb run - it would keep their promotion push alive.

Supporters travelling by car should approach East Kent via the M2, continuing to the end of the motorway at Faversham. From there, join the A299 Thanet Way, following signs for Margate and Ramsgate, and remain on the road for approximately six miles, passing Seasalter Marshes on the left.

Take the exit for Whitstable (A2990 – Old Thanet Way) and continue to the third roundabout, with Tesco on the right. Take the first exit onto Millstrood Hill, and after passing the cemetery on the right, turn left into Grimshill Road. The entrance to the stadium car park is located approximately 200 yards on the right.
