Hythe boss Steve Watt says there’s play-off belief among his squad. The Cannons are up to ninth in Isthmian South East, only three points off the top five, after beating Sittingbourne 1-0 at home last night.

Toby Bancroft scored a last-minute winner in a match that saw the Brickies finish with nine men after red cards for new signing Sergio Uyi and Youseff Bamba.

It was a fifth win in six games for Steve Watt's in-form side, who beat title-chasing Chatham 1-0 at Reachfields on Saturday with Johan Caney-Bryan's early header.

They've now kept 10 clean sheets in the league season. Hythe lost 6-1 at Chatham earlier this season but set the record straight with a performance that underlined their play-off potential despite operating on one of the smallest budgets in the division. “We were really good on Saturday - I couldn’t be more proud of the players,” said Watt, speaking before the Brickies game. “It was good to right the wrongs of the last time we played Chatham. “I just asked the players to be us.
