Isthmian League round-up: Folkestone Invicta, Margate and Chatham Town win, Sevenoaks beat Ramsgate

It was a perfect start to the season for Folkestone Invicta as Ibrahim Olutade fired in a hat-trick in a 4-0 win at Wingate & Finchley in Isthmian Premier.

Olutade completed a 15-minute hat-trick after converting Kane Penn’s cross before David Smith marked his return to the club with the fourth goal a minute from time.

Gate took the lead through Roberts’ excellent finish on 34 minutes but Jack Dixon’s levelled the scores in first-half stoppage time.
