Southern Counties East League round-up: Lordswood beat Faversham in Kent Senior Trophy, Whitstable and Snodland progress, Deal hit seven in Premier Division

Lordswood produced an upset in the Kent Senior Trophy Second Round by knocking out Faversham on Saturday.

Fresh from a goalless draw in the Southern Counties East Premier Division between the two sides in midweek, Lords were on their travels in the rematch but that mattered little as they ran out 2-0 winners.

The visitors had already seen a goal ruled out for offside when Rahman Kareem put them ahead and Callum Peck made it two before the break.

Faversham fielded two new signings in former Folkestone man Finn O’Mara and the return of Nathan Wood but they couldn’t find a way past Tom Crump as Lords booked their place in the last eight.

They’ll be joined in the draw by Whitstable, who scored three times in the last 11 minutes as they won 4-1 at home to Bearsted.

Emmanuel Oloyede put The Oystermen ahead inside the first minute but Alfie Eldridge levelled with 20 minutes remaining. However, Harvey Smith and a Josh Oliver brace ensured Whitstable’s progress.

Matt Gething bagged a second-half winner as Snodland won 2-1 at home to Kennington.

Francis Babalola’s opener for the hosts had been cancelled out by Sam Fisher in the first half-hour for Kennington.

Hollands & Blair needed penalties to end Division 1 K Sports’ interest in the competition. The teams drew 1-1 in 90 minutes before sharing four goals in 11 minutes during extra-time.

Richard Atkins, Matt Bourne and Marlon Peter-Brown netted for Blair, Owen Rayman, Huw Mitchell and Alfie Bates responded for Sports before Blair won 4-3 on penalties.

Second-half goals from Tom Ash and Joe Chalker saw Erith Town defeat Fisher 2-0 while Croydon beat Canterbury after extra-time.

The teams were level at 2-2 in 90 minutes with Harry Bradford and Dan Haastrup scoring for City. Rob
