Kenley 0 Merton 6
Kenley expected a difficult match against a side that they had already lost against twice this season and that's exactly what they got.
The game started well for Merton who took the lead through a well worked short corner and a penalty flick. But the game's momentum was reduced by some finicky decisions from the match officials.
Kenley started to slow Merton's attack and subsequently created a few efforts on goal. With a Kenley side plagued by injuries, the finishing was not to their usual quality. Merton were two up at half time.
Within the first 15 minutes of the second half, Merton produced some quick attacks, which earned them another two goals.
Another penalty flick was awarded to Merton, who squandered their opportunity to add to their tally.
Kenley vainly tried to win a consolation goal for their efforts. However, Merton's fitness and general team work became a decisive factor, as Kenley tried to attack, they conceded two further goals.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
