Weekend round-up as Isthmian Premier leaders Folkestone Invicta and in-form Ramsgate win; Ashford United and Deal Town claim Isthmian South East victories

Nile Ranger’s first Chatham Town goal was not enough to secure them victory from their top-six Isthmian Premier match at Cray Wanderers on Saturday.

The vastly-experienced striker, 34, came off the substitutes’ bench to score with 12 minutes to go but Wands striker Alex Hernandez converted an 87th-minute penalty as it finished 1-1 at Flamingo Park. It’s now five games without a win for Chats.

Leaders Folkestone took another stride towards the Isthmian Premier title thanks to a 2-0 success at Dulwich Hamlet.

Striker Jake Hutchinson broke the deadlock in front of a crowd of 2,231 on 70 minutes before substitute Ryan Kingsford’s injury-time effort made it four wins - and four clean sheets - on the spin for Jay Saunders’ side.

In-form Ramsgate extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches as they beat promotion-chasing Brentwood 3-0 at home.

Alfie Paxman was at the double, both from penalties, and substitute striker Mitchell May got a stoppage-time goal for Lee Martin’s men at Southwood.

Cray Valley started life without Steve McKimm as manager with a 2-2 draw at second-bottom Canvey Island.

Trailing 2-0 inside the first 10 minutes, Makise Evans pulled one back and Fumnaya Shomotun equalised for the Millers.

Dartford were defeated 1-0 at Potters Bar, who moved off the foot of the table.

They overtook new Isthmian Premier basement boys Welling United despite them playing out a goalless draw against St Albans at Park View Road.

Mid-table Ashford piled more misery on Isthmian South East bottom team East Grinstead, beating them 7-0 at Homelands.

Joe Lewis-Evans, a Gary Lockyer penalty and Mike West’s effort put Craig Stone’s side into a 3-0 half-time advantage.
