Darren Smith netted a last minute winner for Folkestone Invicta in the derby clash against Maidstone United.

The 3-2 win for Invicta on Wednesday night saw them leapfrog the Stones and take fourth place in the Ryman League, Division 1 South table.

For Jay Saunders’ Maidstone it was their second last-minute defeat in four days.

The Stones had taken the lead at the Buzzlines Stadium through Shaun Welford with 26 minutes gone, but Stuart King scored the first of his two goals on the night, to level things up 10 minutes later.

His first came from the penalty spot after Josh Burchell went down in the box.

King’s second put Invicta ahead midway through the second half but was denied a hat-trick when Daren Hawkes, on loan from Gillingham, saved a second penalty. From the resulting goalmouth scramble Invicta appeals that the ball had crossed the line were waved away.

After striking the woodwork and seeing a shot scrambled off the line it was Welford who slotted home his second to level the scores with a minute remaining.

With 90 minutes gone Smith (pictured) fired in a long-range effort over Hawkes to take all three points and lift Invicta two places above the Stones.

On Tuesday night Faversham Town ended their three-game winless run in Ryman League, Division 1 South by beating Walton Causals 1-0 at Salters Lane.

Town conceded a penalty when goalkeeper Rob French brought down William Adou, but Danny Fernandez fired his spot-kick against the post and the hosts held on to win.

A seven-goal thriller went the way of Thamesmead Town in Ryman League, Division 1 North as they won 4-3 at home to Waltham Forest.

After Fairweather-Johnson had doubled his tally to restore Thamesmead’s two-goal lead, Waltham squared the game at 3-3 but Joseph Afusi pounced to grab a late winner.
