Petts Wood & Holmesdale made it two wins on the bounce as they beat Larkfield & New Hythe by the odd goal on Saturday afternoon, thanks to a last-minute goal from Joel Wakefield.

The first half started a bit scruffy for both teams but then in the 12^th minute Holmesdale took the lead when a corner to the back post found Ryan Mahal on his own and his shot from twelve yards was superbly saved by Conor Collins but unfortunately came out to Oliver Milton who bundled it in.

The game saw Holmesdale in total control and then against the run of play Larkfield equalised in the 31^st minute when a lovely through ball for Lauris Chin who ran into the area and went past Reece Hobbs who upended him so a penalty was given, Charlie Wright stepped up and put the ball into the bottom right-hand corner.

Goals change games and Larkfield suddenly started to play and three minutes later a corner into the six-yard box found Tequaniel Palmer whose header was pushed away by Hobbs. In the 42^nd minute Milton fifteen yards out saw his shot get deflected over the bar.

In the 45^th minute Larkfield took the lead when a ball into the area saw Palmer three yards out saw his shot saved by Hobbs and cleared but only to Jay Wade who from twenty yards shot past Hobbs.

The second saw Holmesdale dominate possession with Larkfield relying on counter attacks. In the 46^th minute Kadeem Ajeon saw his scuffed shot from twenty yards go just past the post.

Fifteen minutes later and Holmesdale nearly equalised when a corner to the back post saw Mahal’s shot from five yards out cleared off the line.

In the 67^th minute Larkfield in a rare attack should have increased their lead when Brady Ayoola was put through but from fifteen yards Hobbs rushed out and saved with his legs. In the 75^th minute another chance came when Armani Jordan-Martin saw his twenty-five-yard free kick come back off the cross bar.

Ten minutes later another glorious chance for Larkfield to win came when Ayoola was put through and from fifteen yards he shot straight at Hobbs who was able to parry it away this would be costly.

Time was running out for Holmesdale and then in the 87^th minute they finally equalised when a corner into the six-yard box saw Lewis Heywood head in beating Collins. Then in the 90^th minute they got the winner when another corner to the back post was headed back across the area for Joel Wakefield to knock in.

The game went on for another eight minutes with Larkfield throwing the kitchen sink at Holmesdale, but they survived and took the three points.
