Whitstable Town FC

However, second placed Hendon, also unbeaten at home before the weekend, could not take advantage, as they crashed 5-0 at home to Carshalton Athletic, another side involved in the relegation battle.

AFC Wimbledon, currently the Division’s form team, took advantage with a smart 2-1 win at Maidstone United, and watched by a crowd of 1,224, the Dons moved up to third place, just eleven points behind Chelmsford with three matches in hand.  Third placed Ramsgate travelled to 6^th placed Staines Town, and as a result of the Middlesex side winning 2-0, Staines moved above Ramsgate into fourth position, with game sin hand on all the clubs above them.

Harrow Borough went nap at home to Heybridge Swifts to win 5-0, recording their best win of the season in the process.  Harrow are now 8^th in the Division, just behind Margate, 2-1 winners at home to Ashford Town (Middx) and AFC Hornchurch, losers by the only goal of the game at home to Harlow Town.  Billericay Town had a good local derby win 4-2 at East Thurrock United to move themselves further away from the relegation zone.  Tonbridge Angels draw at home to Boreham Wood 2-2, whilst Wealdstone and Horsham shared the points with their 1-1 draw.  In the final match, Folkestone Invicta gained a 2-0 home win and much needed points against beleaguered Leyton, now stranded at the foot of the table some twelve points from safety.

Division One North

AFC Sudbury are back on top of Division One North following their 2-0 win at Arlesey Town, with Dartford up to second place having won 4-0 at Witham Town.  Previous leaders Edgware Town were held 0-0 at Bury Town.  Into fourth place are the Division’s current form team, Redbridge, 1-0 winners at Waltham Forest thanks to a late goal from Jeff Hammond in the 89^th minute.

Enfield Town retain the last promotion place, despite their unexpected 0-1 defeat at home to Wingate & Finchley.  Just outside the play-off places in a most competitive Division are Maldon Town, Ware and Brentwood Town.  Maldon won 2-1 at home to Potters Bar Town, whilst Scott Nielson scored four for Ware in their 5-2 victory at Tilbury.  However, Brentwood Town lost ground as they became the first side to be beaten by Wivenhoe Town this season – Liam Hopkins and Daniel Flack scoring the important goals for the improving bottom club.

Division One South

League leaders Dover Athletic shared the points on their visit to Kingstonian with a 2-2 draw, watched by the Surrey club’s best gate of the season, thus retaining the only unbeaten away record in the entire League.

Second placed Tooting & Mitcham United took advantage of Dover’s slip to move just one point behind with a 2-0 home win.Whitstable lost 3-2  against Corinthian-Casuals, whilst 3^rd placed Cary Wanderers won 2-0 at home to Leatherhead.

Dulwich Hamlet’s 1-1 draw at Eastbourne Town was enough to move the London side up to fourth place at the expense of Metropolitan Police, single goal losers at Whyteleafe to a Sam Clayton goal in the 68^th minute.  As in the other Divisions, the chasing pack is very close to the top five clubs, and two of them, Walton & Hersham and Worthing, shared the points with a 2-2 draw at Walton.
