Tonbridge Angels came from two goals down to beat Eastbourne Borough 4-2 in a pre-season friendly, with 8.91-rated midfielder Kai Corbett the standout performer despite being on the losing side, setting up a trip to Wingate & Finchley on 1 August. The visitors struck twice before the half-hour mark when Corbett teed up Josh Rees in the 27th minute and Giles Phillips in the 47th, leaving Tonbridge chasing the game at the break.

The turning point came in the second half as Jephte Tanga pulled one back unassisted in the 61st minute, Ethan Sutcliffe equalised ten minutes later, and Trialist B capitalised on a Frankie Baker assist to put the hosts ahead in the 79th minute, with Harvey Lintott heading in Bailey Akehurst's delivery to seal the turnaround in the 84th minute. No cards or VAR interventions disturbed a match that shifted decisively in Tonbridge's favour after the interval.

Eastbourne held 54% possession and won three corners to Tonbridge's seven, yet the hosts dominated the shot count after half-time to earn the win through sheer second-half momentum. Kai Corbett earned a match-high 8.91 rating as a midfielder, creating both opening goals for his side.
