Dartford's stuttering form continued with a 1-1 Boxing Day derby draw against Cray Wanderers at Princes Park in Ryman League Premier Division.

Mark Willy headed the visitors into a surprise lead on 29 minutes but Danny Harris slid in the equaliser within 10 minutes after a Ryan Hayes free-kick was spilled. After the break Darts' Lee Burns was sent off after appearing to kick out at Leigh Bremner.

Lloyd Blackman scored the only goal of the game against his former club as Margate got a morale-boosting win at Maidstone United in the same division.

Margate's James Pinnock had a spot-kick-saved and Stones' Peter Hawkins was dismissed following two bookings after Blackman had given the visitors the lead 16 minutes form time in front of just 225 at Homelands.

Tonbridge Angels were denied victory over Premier Division title-chasing Hastings United as they drew 2-2 at Longmead.

Ade Olorunda opened the scoring for the visitors eight minutes before half-time but Lee Minshull scored twice in two minutes to turn the game on its head by the 41st minute.

Olorunda and Kirk Watts saw red after a late melee and Lee Carey slotted an injury-time penalty to secure a share of the points for Hastings.

Whitstable and Ramsgate shared the points in a scrappy Boxing Day derby at Southwood in Ryman League Division 1 South.

Stuart Vahid went closest for the visitors against his former club but fired wide of the target, while at the other end Kevin Fewell denied Sam Jones and Gary Mickelborough fired over the bar in the goalless draw.

Sittingbourne ran riot in the derby clash with Chatham Town with a three-goal blitz in a five-minute spell in the second half securing a 4-0 Division 1 South win at Bourne Park.

Nick Reeves gave the home side the lead on the stroke of half-time and Hicham Akhazzan doubled the lead on 66 minutes before Tom Bradbrook headed home two minutes later and Reeves added his second to secure the Brickies' biggest win of the season.

Folkestone moved seven points clear at the top of Division 1 South with a game in hand after a 1-0 win over Ashford Town at the Buzzlines Stadium.

Invicta secured the points courtesy of a Frankie Chappell header after a mix-up in the Town defence in the 37th minute and Danny Lye's shot which glanced the post was the closest the Nuts and Bolts came to finding an equaliser.

Thamesmead and VCD Athletic played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in Ryman League Division 1 North on Saturday.

Jason Barton gave the visitors an 11th-minute lead before Andy Constable levelled for Thamesmead from the spot. Leroy Huggins restored VCD's advantage against the run of play on 55 minutes but Constable stabbed home the equaliser soon after.
