Chatham Town were dragged further into the Ryman League Division 1 South relegation mire with a 3-1 defeat at Fleet Town on Saturday.

The hosts opened the scoring on 25 minutes and doubled the lead with a penalty on 36 minutes with the clincher arriving 13 minutes from time meaning Aaron Firth's tap-in on 83 minutes was a mere consolation.

The Chats are now just one place and five points clear of second-bottom Corinthian Casuals having played four more games.

Whitstable Town's revival continued with a fine 2-1 win at promotion-chasing Walton Casuals which left them 18th and seven points clear of the drop-zone.

Ian Pulman (pictured) was the hero, slotting the opener for the Oystermen on 40 minutes and rounding the keeper to guide home the winner 16 minutes from time after Casuals had drawn level on the hour.
