Faversham Town midfielder Harrison Pont’s red card overturned ahead of their Isthmian South East trip to second-placed AFC Croydon Athletic this weekend

“There’s two [more] points we could have had. We played really well, as well, even though we ended up being 3-0 down.

“But I think things even themselves out. Come the end of this season, hopefully, our luck will change a little bit.
