Faversham Town assistant Darren Beale thinks Southern Counties East Premier Division basement boys Kennington are in ‘a false position’ – as they aim to beat them to end winless run

Assistant manager Darren Beale believes basement boys Kennington are in “a false position” as Faversham prepare to visit them.
