Southern Counties East League weekend round-up as Faversham Town, Corinthian and Tunbridge Wells win in Premier Division; Canterbury City and Rochester United secure Division 1 victories

Frontrunners Faversham extended their Southern Counties East League Premier Division lead through a comfortable victory at Hollands & Blair on Saturday.

Top scorer Tashi-Jay Kwayie converted a penalty in both halves, either side of first-half goals for defender Ben Gorham and forward Danny Parish during a 4-0 triumph for Tommy Warrilow’s Town team, who have re-signed young goalkeeper Archie Burford.

Kennington battled to a hard-fought goalless draw at home to high-fliers Fisher.

Midway through the second period, Henry Arnold doubled the Hoops’ tally and substitute Simon Walton rounded things off in the 84th minute.

They are closing in on fifth-placed Punjab United, who were pegged back in a 1-1 draw at home to Sutton Athletic.
