Town lie 17th in Ryman League Division 1 North while newly-promoted Rangers went fourth.

Gary Abbott's Sittingbourne side went fourth in Ryman League Division 1 South with a 1-0 win at Ashford on Tuesday.

A scrappy goal poked home by Tom Bradbrooke five minutes from half-time was enough to earn them bragging rights over their previous manager Steve Lovell who is now in charge at Homelands.

Both sides created chances and rattled the woodwork but Sittingbourne were really up for this Kent derby clash.

Richard Brady clipped the bar for the Bourne early on and Ashford squandered a great chance when Mitchell Sherwood hit the post but it was the Bourne who were happier at the interval.

Former Sittingbourne man Bradley Spice came on as a half time subsitute and forced a good save from Matt Reed with his first touch and then smashed the rebound over the bar.

Jimmy Jackson’s 25-yard thunderbolt rescued a point for Folkestone in a 2-2 draw at home to Croydon Athletic in a game dominated by referee Irvine Woodward.

Mr Woodward dismissed James Everitt for a strong challenge on Sam Clayton, just minutes after Luke Adams had given visitors Croydon a 1-0 lead.

Jimmy Dryden’s close range header levelled the game before the break, but Croydon captain Danny Waldren restored the away side’s lead early in the second half with a sweetly struck shot.

Jackson’s sweeping effort claimed a point for Invicta, 15 minutes from the end, before referee Woodward was in the spotlight again, red carding Matt Bourne in stoppage time, following another altercation with Osborn.

Cray failed to gain ground on leaders Kingstonian with a 2-1 defeat at Burgess Hill. Trailing 2-0, Tommy Whitnell scored their goal midway through the second half but they were unable to net an equaliser.

Jack Tanner's excellent winner and a vital penalty save by goalkeeper Kevin Fewell helped Whitstable claim only their second home Ryman League Division 1 South win of the season.

Tanner’s superb free-kick flew past Whyteleafe keeper Rob Tolfrey 10 minutes from time to seal an entertaining 3-2 win, marred only by the double sending of Jake Gess and Leafe’s Robert Smith five minutes later.

Whitstable led after eight mintues through Ian Pulman but Denva McKenzie levelled three minutes later. Adam Broomhead's deflected free-kick put the visitors ahead before Gess levelled for Whitstable near the end of the first half.

Whyteleafe had a great chance to go ahead with 15 minutes left but Sean Rivers' penalty was saved by Fewell after Paul Scott was felled by Tom Parker.

In Division 1 North, Chatham led for a long spell against Aveley but two late goals saw them beaten 2-1.
