Palace XI lose out to Margate

A youthful Crystal Palace side lost 3-1 to Margate on Friday evening.

Kwesi Appiah started against his former club, alongside Ibra Sekajja in attack.

It was first blood to Margate when Eagles midfielder Alex Wynter handled in the box and Tommy Whitnall put the resulting penalty past Ross Fitzsimmons.

Sekajja equalised for Palace with a thunderous 25-yard effort but Margate regained the lead through Carl Rook shortly before half time.

Margate went further ahead, to seal victory, in the second half - Tyler Christian-Law tucking the ball home after Palace failed to clear a corner properly.

Palace: Fitzsimmons, Akuruka, Daniel, Taylor, Wynter, Dorman, Fenwick (Kai-Kai), Marrow (Boateng), Appiah (Sow), Sekajja, Cadogan.

Subs Not Used: Gregory, Holland.
