18 January 2025, Steve Cook Stadium, Gravesend
It was a bitterly cold day for Punjab United’s first home game of 2025, against Sutton Athletic, at the Steve Cook Stadium.
Punjab starts the year in fifth place in the Southern Counties League Premier Division, 18 points behind table leaders Faversham Town. Sutton Athletic are currently in 12th place.
The first half was well-balanced, when Will Johnson-Cole put Punjab into the lead with a goal in the 37th minute. Punjab held on to go in to half time with their lead intact.
The Second Half
The second half was even more closely fought, with both teams having an equal time on the ball.
Sadly, Punjab conceded a penalty in the 74th minute, which was neatly put away for Sutton by Arlie Desanges.
The game finished 1-1, which your reporter reluctantly admits was a fair result.
Punjab United’s next game is away against Larkfield & New Hythe on Tuesday 21 January. The next match at the Steve Cook Stadium will be against Snodland Town on 25 January.
If you get the opportunity, come along and support your local team.
