Faversham Town coach Darren Hare looks ahead to home match against Haywards Heath Town and Kent derby at Hythe Town

Coach Darren Hare has described Faversham’s home match against Haywards Heath as one of the biggest of his career.

Sammy Moore’s Lilywhites, who saw their scheduled encounter at promotion-chasing Beckenham postponed last weekend, are back at the foot of Isthmian South East.

"But we need to rely on other teams a little bit as well.

“We’re realists and know it will be very, very tough, but I believe in the group.”

Faversham will visit Reachfields to take on an eighth-placed Hythe team going for a top-five finish - where Hare will come up against manager Steve Watt, who he
