Two second-half goals proved decisive as Margate posted back-to-back Isthmian Premier wins for the first time this season on Saturday, defeating Canvey 2-0.

Both sides were reduced to 10 men early in the second half as first Gate's Sam Blackman and then Mason Hall collected second yellow cards.

Korrey Henry put Margate ahead after Cameron Brodie's effort was saved and Ben Greenhalgh added a second goal nine minutes from time.

Herne Bay failed to take advantage of a first-half red card for hosts Bognor as they lost 2-1 at Nyewood Lane.

James Crane put Bognor ahead but Kieron Campbell equalised within three minutes.

Crane then collected a second yellow card 11 minutes before half-time but Nathan Odokonyero's penalty at the start of the second half gave Bognor maximum points.

Mitch Chapman's second goal of the season gave Cray Wanderers a creditable 1-1 draw at second-placed Potters Bar, who led through Mo Kamara.

Isthmian South East leaders Ramsgate got back to winning ways with a 3-1 victory at East Grinstead.

Ashley Miller made it four goals in as many games with a brace while Lauric Diakiesse also netted after Tahjae Anderson had given Grinstead an early lead.

Supersub Youssef Bamba came off the bench to hand VCD a 2-1 win over Sheppey.

It's the third game running that Bamba has come on and scored for Vickers, his 89th-minute goal denying the Ites a point.

Jordan Greaves had put VCD ahead in the first half but player-boss Jack Midson's low drive equalised straight after the restart.

On-loan Dover striker George Nikaj took his tally for the season to seven with the only goal of the game as Ashford defeated Cray Valley, for whom Adam Coombes hit the woodwork.

Chatham let a two-goal lead slip as they were held 2-2 at Haywards Heath.

Matt Bodkin and Dan Bradshaw gave Chats a 2-0 advantage inside 14 minutes, the visitors also hitting the post and having a goal disallowed for offside in the first half-hour. But two goals in eight second-half minutes from Thomas Collins and Nabeel Channam denied the visitors.

Sittingbourne lost ground after going down 2-1 at Three Bridges, who finished with 10 men, Brannon O'Neill gave Bridges an 11th-minute lead from the penalty spot and Noel Leighton doubled their advantage in the second half before collecting two yellow cards midway with 25 minutes left.

Mario Quiassaca netted what proved a consolation for the Brickies in the 90th minute.

Hythe went down 1-0 at Chichester, Josh Clack scoring the winner with 17 minutes left, with winless Corinthian losing by the same scoreline at home to Burgess Hill.

Faversham lost 3-1 at home to Lancing in the early kick-off. Danny Rumbol netted what proved a consolation after the visitors raced into a 3-0 lead early in the second half.
