Folkestone Invicta 2 Farnborough 0 match report: Three home victories in all competitions in seven-day spell for Invicta as goals from Harvey Kedwell and Bobby Kelman secure National League South success at Cheriton Road

Folkestone Invicta made it three home wins in seven days in all competitions as they eased past Farnborough in National League South on Saturday.

Having ended a winless run with last weekend’s 2-1 league triumph over strugglers AFC Totton before a 3-1 Kent Senior Cup success against rivals Dover in midweek, midfielder Harvey Kedwell broke the deadlock.

In-form striker Bobby Kelman was on target again, too, as it finished 2-0 on a damp and dismal day at Cheriton Road while No.1 Ted Collins also kept a much-needed clean sheet.

But the hosts were gifted the lead on 26 minutes in front of an attendance that was announced as 602.

A back-pass sold Boro’s debutant goalkeeper Liam Hall short and, while he just about beat Kelman to the loose ball, it only fell as far as midfielder Kedwell, who opened his club account, drilling into the vacant net from long range.

Spencer Day’s side, who have won only once in nine games in all competitions, were becoming the makings of their own downfall as an indirect free-kick was awarded in the penalty box, which came to nothing, after an away player had passed back to Hall.

Folkestone centre-back Jamie Fielding then met Ben Mason’s 30th-minute corner but was denied by a fantastic save from 21-year-old Hall that
