Only three Kent clubs made it through the FA Cup preliminary round on Saturday. Four will be involved in replays on Tuesday night but 10 others crashed out on a disappointing weekend for the county.

Faversham Town beat Worthing 5-1 at Salters Lane to set up a first qualifying round clash with Cray Wanderers. Wayne Wilson, Darren Marsden, Matt Bourne, Danny Hockton and Brendon Cass were on target for Ray Turner's side.

In the all-Kent clash at Park View Road, Chatham Town thrashed local rivals Erith & Belvedere 5-0. Goals from Brad Potter, Austin Gacheru, Alfie May, Greg Benbow and Andy Constable - against his former club - handed the Chats their second big win over the Deres in the space of a week. They will host East Preston in the next round.

The only other Kent club to make it through on Saturday was Sittingbourne. They won 1-0 at Chessington & Hook thanks to a Joe Taylor goal. Next up for the Brickies is a home tie against Littlehampton Town.

Whitstable Town and Tunbridge Wells must do it all again on Tuesday night after playing out a 0-0 draw in front of 414 at Culverden Stadium.

A stoppage-time equaliser from Danny Walder kept Herne Bay in the competition as they drew 2-2 at Eastbourne United. Walder had earlier put Bay in front from the penalty spot.

Folkestone Invicta were twice in front against Molesey at the Fullicks Stadium but they, too, face a replay after the visitors came back to earn a 3-3 draw. Stuart King, Frankie Chappell and Johan Ter Horst scored Folkestone's goals.

It was a tale of woe for the rest of the county's clubs. Hythe Town lost 2-1 at Three Bridges and also had Pat Kingwell sent-off, while Ramsgate were beaten 1-0 at Hastings.

A first defeat of the season sent VCD Athletic tumbling out of the cup. Peter Smith scored for the Vickers but they lost 3-1 at home to Burgess Hill Town.

Deal Town lost 4-2 at Merstham, Ashford United were beaten 4-0 at Peacehaven & Telscombe and Holmesdale lost an eight-goal thriller 5-3 at Horley Town.

Meanwhile, there was a full fixture programme in the Ryman League Premier Division.

Goals from Frannie Collin and Alex Brown fired Maidstone United to a 2-0 win over leaders Kingstonian in front of 1,775 at the Gallagher Stadium.

Margate are up to second after they won 2-0 at Met Police. Zac Attwood - from the penalty spot - and Lanre Azeez struck inside the last 12 minutes at Imber Court.

But there were defeats for Thamesmead Town, beaten 3-1 at Enfield, and Cray Wanderers, who were humbled 7-1 at Wealdstone.
