Isthmian League round-up: Ramsgate three points from South East title while Dartford stay two clear at top of Premier Division

Ramsgate are one win away from a first league championship in 19 years after coming from a goal down to thrash Three Bridges.

A crowd of 1,725 at Southwood were briefly silenced when Reece Hallard put the visitors in front but the Isthmian South East leaders recovered to win 5-1.

Lee Martin - later sent off - levelled and Aaron Barnes made it 2-1 before second-half goals from Joe Taylor, Benny Bioletti and Joe Ellul clinched the points.

Victory at relegated Hythe on Good Friday would seal the title regardless of Sittingbourne’s result against Burgess Hill.

The Brickies are doing all they can to stay in the race after winning 5-0 at East Grinstead.

Mitchell May and Donvieve Jones gave them a two-goal cushion at the break, with Ryan Kingsford, Liam Smith and Antonio Morgan completing the tally.

An injury-time equaliser denied Margate victory in a six-goal thriller at play-off rivals Merstham.

Ibrahim Olutade scored a hat-trick as Gate came from 2-0 down inside 14 minutes to lead 3-2 but the Moatsiders salvaged a point in the 10th minute of added time.

An extraordinary game at Homelands saw Ashford beaten 6-3 by relegated Steyning Town despite a hat-trick for skipper Gary Lockyer.

It was 5-3 at the break after a crazy 45 minutes which saw Lockyer draw first blood and score his second after the visitors recovered to lead 2-1.

Steyning opened up a 5-2 lead before Lockyer completed his treble but the visitors ended comeback hopes with a late sixth as Ashford suffered a first defeat in six games.

Sheppey enjoyed a third successive victory with Billy Bennett’s 51st-minute strike enough to beat AFC Croydon 1-0 at Holm Park.

Michael Salako’s first-minute opener sent Herne Bay on their way to a 4-1 home win over Erith Town.
