Manager Ben Smith always felt there was a game to be won after Ramsgate shocked Chatham in the FA Cup on Saturday. Rams produced the result of the First Qualifying Round by winning 5-1 away to the Isthmian Premier leaders on Saturday.
TJ Jadama set them on their way and top scorer Joe Taylor added a second before Chats replied through Che Krabbendam early in the second half.
Taylor restored the two-goal cushion and man-of-the-match Bode Anidugbe struck twice in the last five minutes as Ramsgate set up a trip to Cray Wanderers in the next round on Sunday, September 17.
Few gave Isthmian South East Rams a chance of beating a Chats side who had won their first five league games following promotion.
