Chatham Town beat Wimborne Town 1-0 in the FA Trophy second round and will play Plymouth Parkway next – Kevin Hake’s side host Erith Town at the Bauvill Stadium on Tuesday night in the Velocity Cup

Chatham Town turn their attention to the Velocity Cup after another historic result at the weekend.

This season has seen Chatham already make it to the FA Cup first round for the first time in almost 100 years. On Saturday, they reached the FA Trophy third round for the only time in the club’s history.

A last-gasp winner at Wimborne Town clinched a 1-0 win at the weekend and a place in the third round proper, where they will host Plymouth Parkway next month.

Manager Kevin Hake said: “It’ll be great to finally be back at the Bauvill after what feels like a long spell away from home.

“We’ve spent the best part of a month on the road, so returning in front of our own supporters will be a real lift for everyone.

“It will be another competitive test. Hopefully we can build on the momentum from the weekend and put in another strong performance for the fans.”

Chatham lost to Billericay Town in last year’s Velocity Cup final having won it the year before against Hashtag United.

Hake’s side beat Erith 3-1 when they met in the Kent Senior Cup last month.

Since then, Erith claimed a surprise 1-0 win over leaders Three Bridges, have beaten Sevenoaks and managed 3-3 draws against both Ashford United and Whyteleafe.

A crazy game at the Stanmore Stadium at the weekend saw Margate take the points with a 7-3 win over Isthmian South East side Erith.

Hake praised his own side’s character after winning late on against Southern League, Premier South side Wimborne Town, victory coming courtesy of Kofi Anokye-Boadi’s goal deep into stoppage-time.

“I’m delighted with the win and the character the lads showed,” said the Chats boss.

“Wimborne made it a very tough
