After last week’s result, newly appointed manager Dave Robson emphasised a reaction was needed — and today, the boys delivered.
We know Aldington aren’t pushovers. They’ve got enough quality to punish mistakes, but today was about proving a point.
From the first whistle, Pristine dominated possession and piled on the pressure. Against the run of play, though, a short corner caught us sleeping at the near post and Aldington took the lead.
1–0.
We needed a response — and it came quickly. A change in formation turned the pressure into goals, with Tyrone Calveley playing a deadly pass into Egid Aydin, who calmly slotted home.
1–1. Game on.
The pressure continued and Egid turned provider, cushioning a pass into Carlum MacLeod, who kept his composure to make it 2–1.
Just before half-time, Egid put on a show. Taking on several players, he finished a brilliant individual run to grab his second and send us into the break 3–1 up.
The message at half-time was simple: capitalise on the lead and finish the job.
We didn’t have to wait long. A mistake from the Aldington keeper gifted Paldon Bepe the perfect opportunity to open his Pristine account for the new season!
4–1.
Then the floodgate opened..
Carlum was handed a free-kick in a dangerous position and, in true Carlum fashion, unleashed another absolute rocket. 🚀
5–1.
Minutes later, Egid tried to recreate his earlier solo goal but was brought down inside the box. He stepped up and made no mistake.
Hat-trick. 🎩⚽
6–1.
Captain Karl Levett played in Jack Selami on the edge of the box, with Selami taking one touch before burying it bottom corner.
7–1.
Iain Bremer has been firing throughout pre-season and kept that good form going. With the game all but done, Bremer decided he wanted one himself. Captain Karl Levett supplied the assist and Bremer provided the finish.
8–1. Job done. 💥
After last week, this was exactly the reaction we wanted.
Eight goals. Three points. A statement at Towers. 🏰
