There were some surprises in the Gravesend League's Gordon Charity Cup second round, with three teams defeating higher-league opposition.

Division 2 Culverstone United hosted The Rising Eagles from Division 1 and took a 4-1 lead thanks to Dave Morris, Luke Vint, Aaron Salter and Joe Coughlin. Eagles hit back, but Culverstone got a crucial fifth to go through 5-4.

Division 1 side Woodlands Athletic had a man advantage against Premier Division Lullingstone Castle and made the most of it with a 4-0 win.

Darren Gowler, Karl Daly, Keith Marshall and Dan Ingram got the goals.

Not to be outdone, Division 2 leaders Earl Grey edged Division 1 strugglers Peacock Celtic 3-2.

There was no third comeback for Celtic, who had equalised twice thanks to Phil Johnson and Tim Edwins. William Harris, Dean Gibbons and Sam Jacomb scored for the victors.

Premier Division high-fliers Old Prince of Orange and Viewpoint made light work of their opponents. Cup holders Viewpoint eased past Guru Nanak Reserves 7-0, with Dave Goodwin netting a hat-trick and further goals from Toby Johnson (2) and Karl Hotchkiss (2), while Orange beat nine-man Meopham 8-0.
