Sheppey United 1 Faversham Town 2 match report: Tommie Fagg bags injury-time goal for high-flying Isthmian South East Lilywhites, who play with 10 men after Harrison Pont’s first-half red card

An injury-time Tommie Fagg goal ensured 10-man Faversham ended 2025 with an Isthmian South East success at Sheppey on Saturday.

They went ahead through top scorer Tashi-Jay Kwayie in the first half and, although they had midfielder Harrison Pont red-carded not long after, held on until Ites defender Lex Allan levelled late on.

But midfielder Fagg made sure it finished 2-1 at Holm Park with his 91st-minute goal for promotion-chasing Faversham.

Quick Sheppey winger Michael Ademiluyi - one of two ex-Town players in their team - had dragged a shot wide in the fourth minute in front of a 605-strong crowd.

The first chance for Tommy Warrilow’s team saw defender Ben Gorham lift over after good work from midfielders Nathan Wood and Pont before Johan Caney-Bryan stung loanee keeper Will Heater’s palms.

But Faversham went in front on 14 minutes as Kwayie gobbled up a 16th goal this season, with teenager Heater only able to parry a cross-cum-shot from Wood.

Midway through the first period, referee Harry Phillips dismissed Ites penalty protests for a challenge by left-back Frankie Smith on Ademiluyi before Jacob Lambert’s delicate lob landed on the crossbar.

Town nearly added a second but Caney-Bryan didn’t make the most of a right-wing delivery.

There was another twist in the 25th minute, which saw Mr Phillips brandish midfielder Pont with a straight red for a tackle around 25 yards from goal.

The next chance fell the 10-man Lilywhites’ way when Heater palmed away an effort from Jack Parter just after the half-hour mark.

While the hosts had the numerical advantage,
