Isthmian League round-up: Ade Yusuff double sees Premier Division Folkestone Invicta win; Harry Hudson hits late winner for Margate; Ramsgate stay top of South East Division while 929 watch Chatham Town beat Ashford United

Two late goals from Ade Yusuff helped to end Folkestone Invicta’s losing run in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

Invicta, who had lost their previous four in the league, were a goal down at the break after Samuel Jeremiah scored midway through the opening half at the BuildKent Stadium.

Nathan Green levelled it up with 20 minutes left as he headed home from a corner before Yusuff’s late double won it for the home side. He struck on 82 minutes to put Invicta infront thanks to a cross from substitute Ibrahim Olutade and then scored his second from Kadell Daniel’s cross on 86 minutes to complete a 3-1 win for Invicta infront of a crowd of 622.

Harry Hudson scored a stoppage-time winner for Margate as they won 2-1 away at Wingate & Finchley.

Conceding in the eighth minute wasn’t the ideal start for Gate but Hudson pulled them level with a scrambled goal just before the break after the hosts failed to deal with a free-kick. Hudson then popped up with the last-gasp winner.

It’s now back to back league wins for 13th place Margate.

A 1-0 win for Jack Midson’s Sheppey at home to Corinthian continued their good recent form, making it seven points from their last three games, including a midweek draw against Chatham.
