"I was going to come down last year but decided to stay at Metrogas"

Jack Gibbons netted his first goal for the club against Erith & Belvedere on Saturday.
He produced a spectacular lob to level the scores in the second half, and has settled in well after impressing in pre-season training, having arrived with pal Charlie Burgess.
Gibbons is good mates with last season's top scorer Billy Shinners, and said: "I played with him at Metrogas, and we spoke about coming down last year, but I left it, and see how things went.
"I went training with Charlie in pre-season, the manager liked me, and I have been involved ever since."
Gibbons ((20) who lives in Bexleyheath and was with Charlton as a schoolboy added: I enjoyed scoring, set myself up, and smashed it in. I hadn't played at Park View Road before, but it was a nice pitch, and we were able to play our football.
"I can get goals, it depends where you want to play me, and I feel comfortable playing at this level. It's a bit more physical than I have been used to in the County League, and I am just looking to make my mark with Sevenoaks."
Boss Keith Levett said: "Jack scored a great goal against Erith & Belvedere, and took it well, I hadn't seen him do it in training, but he is a composed boy and a bright lad. He done well pre-season, so we kept him. He has got something about him, and reads the game well."
