Ramsgate Football Club

17-year-old Brandon Locke was one of the standout performers as the Rams ran out 4–2 winners at Canvey yesterday. Stepping in at short notice on Friday, Brandon showed real composure and made us all proud with his performance, a brilliant moment for another local keeper to come through the pathway. We also caught up with hat-trick hero Solomon Ogunwomoju after the game to get his thoughts on a big win for the Rams. Here’s Brandon and Solo being interviewed by young Harry - a familiar face to many, and a passionate super fan who also runs his own TikTok account, Southwood Mic, alongside fellow Ram Curtis. Be sure to check them out. 🔴⚪️|#COYR

A huge shout out has to go to young Brandon Locke, who stepped in at the last minute to keep goal for us today. He was superb throughout, making some brilliant saves as well as commanding his box like a seasoned pro. Well played young man! MOM!

Full Time| Canvey Island 2-4 Ramsgate The Rams take victory with first half goal coming from Raphe Brown and second half hat trick from Solomon Ogunwomoju Thank you all for your amazing support! 🟣⚪️|#COYR

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!! Ogunwomoju grabs his hat trick after Paxman’s shot across goal deflects into his path. Shortly after the restart the referee blows the final whistle to end the season! 4-2 the final score

So close to a fourth! Ogunwomoju does brilliantly to beat a defender to the ball, and he lobs over the keeper but it agonisingly clips the outside of the post and goes wide!

GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!! The Rams are back in front!! Jadama does superbly to beat two men before crossing for Ogunwomoju to slot home off the inside of the post from six yards. Get in!!!!

CHANCE! Munday finds Jadama goal side on the edge of the box, but his shot is well saved low to his right by the keeper.

Chance for Canvey. A shot by Price comes in from the edge of the box, but young Brandon Locke does really well to turn it wide. Moments later a shot comes in from the right side of the box, but it crashes into the inside of the post and bounces clear!

Rams sub: TQ Addy replaces Benny Bioletti.

Rams sub: Oliver Jackson replaces Raphe Brown.

Rams sub: Henry Lukombo replaces Harry Webster.

And as I’m tweeting Canvey have equalised. Didn’t see it. 2-2

Seconds later… GOOOOOOOAAAALLLL! Cundle finds space on the left side of the box. He shoots but Marsden saves, and Ogunwomojunis there to fire home the rebound.

CHANCE! Pinball outside the box results in the ball falling to Bioletti. He squares the ball and it goes across the face of goal and neither Jadama or Ogunwomoju can get the last touch…

Rams sub: Ian Gayle replaces Mason Hunter.

CHANCE! Cundle gets behind the defence and lashes a shot towards goal from the right side of the box, but it clips the bar before going over!

Back underway in Essex!
