Tonbridge manager Tommy Warrilow said it was frustration rather than anger which forced him to leave the ground before addressing his players after Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at Carshalton Athletic in the Ryman League, Premier Division.

Angels twice led but had defender Sonny Miles sent-off before conceding two goals in the final six minutes to lose for the fourth time in
six matches.

Warrilow (pictured) said: "I read somewhere that I was supposed to have stormed out but it wasn’t like that. I didn’t want to start going into the lads and say something which I might regret."

Angels take a break from league action tomorrow (Saturday) with a home FA Cup first qualifying round tie against Combined Counties side Guildford City, 5-0 conquerors of Kent League side Sevenoaks in the FA Vase.

Loan striker Adam Burchall is ineligible and there is a doubt over Danny Walder, who remains troubled by a toe injury. Peter Hawkins has left the club amicably for what Warrilow described as ‘non-football’ reasons.
