“Mario’s rounded the keeper and I think he’s made a brilliant recovery save. A point is a point at the end of the day from another derby.”

In the league, Sittingbourne have only played one club outside of Kent in their first six fixtures so far - starting at Whitehawk before matches against Ramsgate, Faversham, Sheppey, Hythe and now Chatham, which have been sandwiched between various cup ties.

“To be fair, Matt Cafer has made a
