Maidstone v Aveley
Maidstone v Aveley

Shaun Welford stole the show as Margate hammered Horsham 6-1 at home in the Ryman Premier Division on Saturday.

The former Dover Athletic striker scored a hat-trick and played a part in two of their other goals.

Darren Marsden, Jay Saunders and Dean Grant were also on target for Margate as they ensured manager Iain O'Connell was able to celebrate his birthday in style.

Tonbridge Angels secured their third win in a week with a 1-0 success over Croydon Athletic.

The only goal came 15 minutes from time when Frannie Collin's superbly-struck free kick went in via the woodwork.

Folkestone Invicta ended Cray Wanderers' seven-match unbeaten run thanks to a 76th-minute strike from Peter Williams.

Bottom-of-the-table Maidstone United (pictured), playing their first match under their new owners, drew 1-1 at home with Aveley.

After falling behind to a ninth-minute penalty from Orlando Smith, Stones equalised through Danny Hockton with 33 minutes gone but Hockton's afternoon ended on a sorry note when he was sent off for a second yellow card in the dying minutes.
