Last Thursday, Brendon Cass left Maidstone Road to sign for Folkestone Invicta in a move that has taken many people by surprise. This afternoon, as Brendon says his goodbye to Chatham Town for a second time, he tells us in his own words how the move came about and his hopes to take Folkestone into the Ryman Premier Division…
“It was a big surprise when Folkestone came in for me, it really was!” Brendon told me when we talked on Friday. “I spoke to Neil Cugley at the start of the season about possibly going down there, but decided to go instead with OB and Lew who I know very well from playing with both of them, and I wanted to sign for Chatham to try and get them promotion. But over the last few weeks its become clear that that isn’t going to happen and I’ve become more and more frustrated as I know a lot of the fans have too. I feel that I have to do what’s best for me at the moment and I must thank Alex for being so supportive, but I think that the time is right for me to move on and hopefully I can got to Cheriton Road and hopefully help them to win the league!”
Next match is away next Saturday to Ramsgate K.O. 3pm. Click here for directions.
Cass Departure

On the player front the Club wishes to announce that Brendon Cass has today (Thursday) signed for Ryman One South League Leaders Folkestone Invicta after he was offered a deal that we understand was too good for him to turn down.
Folkestone had been searching for a striker since Jimmy Dryden recently had his contract paid up at Cheriton Road. That said, Brendon was sad to go and feels like he is somehow letting us down at Maidstone Road, which shows how committed he was to the Chats cause and as manager Alex O’Brien put it “that is the salt of the man! He’s very honest and a has always been a great team player as well as goal scorer! He’s been great for us and we wish him good luck for the future. I know Brendon will score goals at Cheriton Road, and will do well for them, as he is a terrific player. I’d just like to wish him good luck and thanks for everything.”
“That obviously leaves us a player light in the striking front but I am hoping that we may get someone in time for the home game this weekend against Whyteleafe, or if not in time for next week.
The club confirmed that also moving on is Luke May. O’Brien said, “Luke has found it hard to move the lads in the centre of the park and is desperate to play week in week out, which is what you want as a player, so Luke is going elsewhere to find that. Luke’s attitude has been spot on for us and we wish him luck in the future!”
