| Kingstonian 3-1 Metropolitan Police |
Kingstonian recorded their first win under Alan Dowson tonight with a deserved three-one win over the Metropolitan Police. Two early goals from Saheed Sankoh put the home side two up in seven minutes before K's were pegged back just two minutes later. But the visitors rarely looked like overwhelming K's and Bobby Traynor's cool finish earned some breathing space.

| Hastings United 3-1 Kingstonian |
An improved performance by Kingstonian went unrewarded at Hastings earlier today as Sean Ray gave the hosts a two goal lead in the first half. The opening goal came after just six minutes whilst Ray's second was a controversial effort which saw both ball and goalkeeper Luke Garrard bundled into the net.
On loan striker Saheed Sonkoh pulled one back ten minutes into the second half before Ade Olurunda took advantage of some loose marking to restore the advantage. K's were denied on a number of occasions, most notably with Bobby Traynor striking against the inside of the post.

| K's make four changes |
Kingstonian Football Club are pleased to announce the further strengthening of their squad, with a further four players joining recently appointed manager Alan Dowson at the club.
Liam Cockerill (22) is a strong left sided midfielder with experience in the Football Conference with Woking, for whom he has appeared 73 times since making his debut in August 2003. Liam has spent most of this season on loan at Conference South side Salisbury City. Alan says of the signing, "Liam is capable of playing at a much higher level and will bring extra quality to the side."
Neil Lampton (25) is a dynamic right sided midfielder who returns for a second spell with the club. Neil started playing football with QPR and Fulham before moving via K's to Walton & Hersham in January 2003, making 152 appearances for the Swans (scoring 33 goals). Joined Sutton United in March 2006 and his since had a brief spell with Staines Town. Alan comments, "Neil left Walton following a falling out but that is fully behind us now and he is willing to play for free to show that he can be a great player."
Lee Riddell (25) is a versatile midfielder who has played for Slough Town and Farnborough Town before moving to Walton & Hersham in October 2004, where he made 57 appearances (scoring 11 goals). Alan adds, "Lee's season has been disrupted by injury but he is now fully fit and ready to show us what he can do."
Saheed Sankoh (18) is a former England U18 international striker who is joining the club on an initial one month loan from Woking. Saheed came through the ranks at Fulham before joining the Cards in the summer following a trial at Cardiff City. Alan comments, "Saheed is a talented young player who has been sitting on the bench at Woking and is desperate to prove that he deserves to be playing regularly."
Meanwhile, four players have been released to accommodate the new signings - defender Jamie Jarvis, midfielder Craig Lewington and strikers Tony Reid and Adolph Amoako. Alan explains, "There will unfortunately be a number of popular players who leave the club as I make changes. They have all done well for the club and I wish them well for the future. I've told Craig (Lewington) to go away and get himself fit and we'll look at it again then. Ultimately I will be judged on my signings once we've got a settled side." |

| Cheque it out! |
The Supporters Club presented a cheque for £2,034 to the Ks before the Dover game on Saturday, for which the club are most grateful. This was made up of £1,170 from the Christmas Raffle, sponsorship of the Hampton game and Maidstone game/ball, with the balance being made up of 50/50 and Golden Goal proceeds from matchdays.
Many thanks to all everyone who has assisted the club in purchasing these tickets week in week out. The 50/50 prize pots seem to have increased through the course of the season, which just goes to reflect the great continued participation of the supporters! |

| Sponsored walk |
The Kingstonian Supporters Club sponsored walk this year takes place on Saturday 24th February 2007, leaving Kingsmeadow for Molesey FC at 11.30am, arriving in plenty of time for the game. The planned route is to cross Kingston Bridge and walk along the river to Hampton Court and from there to Walton Road - a distance of approximately 6 miles. The walk will be operating for the return journey too, though it is left to individuals to decide if they wish to walk one way only.
The walk is open to all supporters - all you need is a comfortable pair of shoes/trainers and a willingness to support the event. The proceeds will be split 50/50 between two beneficiaries, The Fircroft Trust (a charity which supports adults living in the local community with mental health problems and/or learning disabilities) and Kingstonian FC.
There is no minimum or maximum amount which needs to be raised. There will however be an incentive for the individual who raises the most money, so ask family, friends, neighbours, colleges or whoever else you can think of to sponsor you, either per mile or as a total, and help us raise lots of funds for two very worthy causes. Forms can be downloaded from the download forms page. |

| Kingstonian 2-4 Cray Wanderers |
Kingstonian succumbed to a second 'Athletic' side in the space three days, losing four-two to Cray, despite taking a third minute lead through Adolph Amoako.
The visitors found themselves in the lead by the half hour mark, courtesy of a brace of K's own goals before a flurry of goals in the final five minutes. A neat goal extended Cray's advantage, and whilst Jamie Jarvis' header gave K's some hope, that was quickly extinguished with another breakaway goal from the visitors.

| Kingstonian 1-3 Dover Athletic |
Ten-man K's put up a brave fight against title-chasing Dover at Kingsmeadow today before succumbing in the final stages.
Bobby Traynor opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 36th minute after fellow debutant Wes Goggin had been felled in the box. However, Craig Lewington was dismissed minutes later after receiving a second caution, and Dover capitalised with an almost immediate equaliser through Nicky Humphrey.
The stalemate in the second half was broken in the 79th minute with a stunning free from Lee Spiller into the top corner of the net. The result was wrapped up a couple of minutes later when Jimmy Dryden slotted home to make it three-one.

| K's make triple signing swoop |
New manager Alan Dowson has been busy in the transfer market, last night adding Wes Goggin (from Ashford Town) and Bobby Traynor (from Walton & Hersham) to his first signing earlier in the week, Simon Sobihy (from AFC Wimbledon).
Wes (25) is a hard working midfielder who has spent much of his career under the guidance of Alan Dowson at Walton & Hersham. He has also had brief spells at AFC Wimbledon in 2004/05 and Ashford Town (middx) since November 2006.
Bobby (23) is a pacy attacking midfielder/striker who made a big impression whilst on loan to Crawley Town from Brentford during the 2003/04 season, before joining Walton & Hersham in November 2005 following spells with Farnborough Town and Maidenhead United.
Simon (29) is a versatile defender who started as a youngster with the K's a decade ago before firmly establishing himself in the Isthmian League with Leatherhead, Corinthian Casuals and Walton & Hersham. Signed by AFC Wimbledon after impressing in the 2005 Surrey Senior Cup final. |
