Ramsgate produced a storming comeback to book their place in the FA Trophy first qualifying round with a 3-2 win against Leyton.

Former Folkestone striker Walid Matata gave the east London visitors the lead at Southwood after 27 minutes and Dean Mason doubled the advantage when he fired past debutant Rams keeper Pat Mullins before the break.

However the home side came out firing after half-time and sub Rhys Lawson netted with his first touch after 58 minutes.

Another substitute, Kenny Pratt, levelled the scores six minutes later and Gary Mickelborough, pictured, completed the superb comeback after 74 minutes.

Ramsgate will host Leatherhead or Thamesmead in the next round on Saturday October 17.
