Dover are six points clear at the top of the Ryman League Premier Division table after racking up their 10th consecutive win at Carshalton Athletic on Saturday.

The only goal of the game came on 16 minutes as a move involving Shaun Welford and Lee Browning was finished off at the near post by Frannie Collin.

A first half hat-trick by Carl Rook did the bulk of the damage as Tonbridge swept aside Horsham at Longmead.

Rook set the Angels on their way to a 4-0 win after just eight minutes when he scored from the penalty spot after a foul on Lewis Hamilton.

His second came in the 21st minute when he raced clear before dummying keeper Paul Seuke and slotting home. And he completed his treble on the half hour when he beat the offside trap again before beating Seuke powerfully.

Jamie Cade added the fourth 13 minutes from time when he headed in a John Westcott cross.

Maidstone are up to sixth after also taking maximum points from their clash with Sutton United at Bourne Park.

Ian Selley got the only goal from the penalty spot in the first half - but Stones were grateful to Andy Walker, whose handling was superb in nightmare conditions for goalkeepers.

Dartford's recent revival continued with a third successive victory - this time at Billericay Town.

Lee Noble's deflected free-kick on 19 minutes separated the sides - but the Darts were indebted to Tony Kessell, who saved Billy Bricknell's penalty in first half stoppage time to preserve the lead.

It was a horrible day for Ramsgate who went down 3-1 at previously winless Heybridge Swifts.

Neil Cousins put the home side ahead in the 25th minute against the run of play, before Chris Bourne's free-kick caught the wind and sailed over everyone's head and into the net midway through the second period.

Mark Reddaway made it 3-0 in injury-time when he lobbed Jack Delo but there was just about time for a consolation for the Rams - although they didn't actually score it themselves as Frankie Everitt turned Jake Eastwood's cross into his own net.

Margate led early on but ended up taking nothing from their game against Hastings United at Hartsdown Park.

Kenny Pratt gave the home side the lead after just six minutes when he was sent clear by Michael Power to score.

But it was 2-1 to Hastings by half-time after Ben White (17) and Sam Adams (31) turned the scoreline around.

Gate looked to have rescued a point when Danny Stubbs' cracking 25-yard volley levelled matters with 10 minutes to play - but Marc Whiteman had the last laugh when he fired home the winner at the death.

Meanwhile, in Ryman League Division 1 South, Cray Wanderers moved up to second in the table after a 4-2 victory over Walton & Hersham at Hayes Lane.

Tommy Whitnell set the home side on their way after just two minutes but Glen Boosey equalised seven minutes later.

Two well taken goals by Tyrone Sterling on 56 and 58 minutes gave Cray some breathing space and then a trademark unstoppable free-kick from Tony Dolby 15 minutes from time made it 4-1.

Dave Stevens pulled one back for the visitors on 79 minutes - but there was no time for a comeback.
