Faversham Town win under new boss Tommy Warrilow 2-1 at Rusthall as Corinthian, Glebe, Bearsted, Snodland Town, Lordswood and Lydd Town also are triumphant in the Premier Division

A second-half fightback ensured new Faversham manager Tommy Warrilow got off to a winning start at Rusthall on Saturday.

Warrilow, appointed as Sammy Moore’s successor at the big-spending Southern Counties East Premier Division side on Wednesday, had plenty to do at half-time after Martin Youngah had given the hosts the lead in front of a crowd of 322.

But the Lilywhites levelled through striker Warren Mfula and went ahead courtesy of an own goal four minutes later following pressure by top scorer Stefan Payne on a Rusthall player, and held on for a 2-1 triumph.

Third-placed Corinthian earned a 3-1 home win over Whitstable, sixth, in a big match in front of a crowd of 151.

Winger Josh Williams put Marcel Nimani’s Oystermen in front after just three minutes but quickfire goals from Oscar Housego and Harry Lashley turned things around, and midfielder Sam Bewick got the Hoops’ third early in the second period against one of his old clubs.

With regular Whitstable keeper Dan Eason still sidelined, he was replaced by Aaron Lee-Wharton on this occasion.

Bearsted were 5-2 victors at second-bottom Welling Town as they moved up to fourth.

Oliver Freeman, Joel Wakefield, Jordan Tingley, Jacob Kalonda and 17-year-old Alfie Cragg struck for Kevin Stevens’ side, the latter two opening their club accounts. Seb Rowland netted for the home side while their other effort came from an own goal.

Leaders Glebe remain a point ahead of Faversham thanks to a 3-1 success over Punjab United.

Jamie Coyle’s 25-yard chip alongside goals from Reece Barrett and Tom Hever put them three goals to the good before Bilal Bourouf pulled one back in the 70th minute.
