Joint-head coach Roland Edge thinks Folkestone Invicta can mix it with anyone in Isthmian Premier ahead of the visit of free-flowing Lewes

Folkestone can mix it with anyone in the league - regardless of their style of play.

Invicta suffered a 2-1 loss at Aveley last weekend, having beaten fellow title-chasing Isthmian Premier team Bishop’s Stortford a week earlier.

“It’s about trying to take maximum points between now and the end of the season.”
