Tunbridge Wells FC secured a 1-0 victory against Phoenix Sports on 24 March 2026 at Culverden Stadium in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. An 84th-minute goal decided the match, which keeps the home side in the race for a play-off spot in the Southern Counties East Football League.
The result ended an 11-match unbeaten run for the visitors, who had not lost a league game since November 2025. This was a significant fixture at Culverden Stadium following the lifting of a league suspension on the ground on 11 March 2026 after a site inspection.
Manager Steve Ives led the team to the win as they look to climb the table alongside Punjab United, who also won their fixture on Tuesday night. The victory helps Tunbridge Wells stay in contention for promotion as the season enters its final stages.
The visiting team, managed by Jake Goodman, had previously beaten Tunbridge Wells earlier in the season. However, this defeat ends their best run of the year and provides a boost to the home club, which has been part of the local community since 1886.
