INVICTA GO NINE CLEAR 24/01/2010
Folkestone Invicta moved nine points clear at the top of the Ryman League Division One South on Saturday, beating Chipstead 2-1 after trailing for 76 minutes.
Danny Moody struck for Chipstead after 5 minutes and they stayed in front until the 81st minute, when James Everitt made it 1-1.
Then substitute Peter Williams pounced to secure Folkestone’s sixteenth league win of the season, twelve of which have been by an odd goal.
Second-placed Worthing lost ground with a 1-1 home draw against Dulwich Hamlet.
Ben Williamson put Rebels ahead on the hour but they held the advantage for only 4 minutes before Ashley Robinson equalised.
Godalming Town are now two points behind Worthing with two games in hand after coming from behind to win 4-2 at Merstham.
The scoresheet was blank until the 49th minute, when Cedric Abraham gave Merstham a short-lived lead. Victor Kiri replied with a minute and two goals by Phil Williams either side of one by Glen Stanley took the visitors out of reach before William Marshall scored a late second for the hosts.
Croydon Athletic climbed to fourth place as they cruised to a 3-0 home victory over lowly Eastbourne Town.
Joe Howe opened the scoring after 10 minutes and Gary Noel (pictured) made it 2-0 at half time with his twenty-third of the season. Tom Bolarinwa added the third in the 62nd minute.
Fleet also moved up a place, to fifth, winning 2-0 at Metropolitan Police with a goal at the end of each half. Dan Read and Paul Harkness were the men on target.
A Stuart Vahid double knocked Walton & Hersham out of the top five as they went down 2-1 at Whitstable Town.
The Swans led at half time through Will Jenkins but Vahid equalised with a 55th minute penalty and got the winner 15 minutes later.
Whitstable’s success also sent Eastbourne back into the bottom two, five points ahead of Ashford Town, who led twice at Whyteleafe but had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Teenage defender Laurence Harvey punished Leafe’s failure to clear a corner in the 5th minute but Leon McDowall rounded keeper Darren Ibrahim to square it 3 minutes later.
Mitchell Sherwood converted a penalty to put Ashford ahead again midway through the first half and this time they held on to their advantage for longer, despite going down to ten men in the 55th minute when Nick Smith picked up his second yellow card in quick succession. Substitute Darren Watson headed home in the 78th minute to share the spoils.
It was 2-2 at Walton Casuals, too, though Burgess Hill Town would have hoped for better after Matt Percival and Danny Curd put them 2-0 up by the 26th minute.
Martin Grant halved the arrears with his ninteenth of the season soon after the interval and Casuals grabbed a point when Michael Barima struck in the 88th minute.
Three players scored their first goals of the season for Leatherhead, who beat Chatham Town 3-0. Mark Simmons, Rob Hill and Josh Smith were the happy trio, all in the second half.
Sittingbourne saw off Corinthian-Casuals 4-1 after Elie Kayembe and Tom Bradbrook scored twice in 4 minutes just before the half-hour mark.
The other goals all came in a hectic 2-minute spell during the second half. Bradbrook got his second, Kane Sergeant replied and Hicham Akhazzan completed the scoring with his sixteenth of the season. A missed penalty denied Bradbrook a hat trick.
It looked all over for Ramsgate when Terry Dodd put visiting Horsham YMCA ahead with a 38th minute penalty and home keeper Danny Twyman was sent-off 2 minutes later. But Warren Schulz made it 1-1 at the interval and that was how it finished.
