Whitstable Town 2 Fleet Town 1 FA Vase fifth round match report: Jayden Boulton and Mikey Dalton score for Whitstable

Whitstable are through to the quarter-finals of the FA Vase after beating Fleet Town on Saturday.

Two goals in eight minutes early in the second half were enough to send player/manager Jamie Coyle’s team through.

Keeper Dan Colmer punched clear two corners in the first two minutes before Whitstable started to find their feet.

Ronald Sithole cut in from the right wing but his ninth-minute left-foot shot lacked power.

Two minutes later Sithole's cross from the right picked out Ashdon Day. The on-loan striker turned and shot in one movement but Whitstable appeals for handball were turned down when his effort was blocked.

The clearest chance of the first half for Whitstable arrived on 18 minutes when a right-wing cross picked out Harvey Smith unmarked on the edge of the area but he sent his first-time shot over the bar.

Then Robbie Rees crossed from the right but the ball just evaded the run of Day.

Fleet had a good five-minute spell and had three good chances to take the lead.

Tane Caubo's snapshot from 20 yards whistled inches past the upright and Dean Rule's header also landed the wrong side of the post after Colmer never got near a deep cross.

Caubo then beat the offside trap but, probably in two minds whether to shoot or cross, he rolled his right-foot attempt well wide of the far post.

Whitstable hit the bar just past the half-hour when Smith's speculative effort from a long ball over the top came back off the woodwork.

The breakthrough arrived just three minutes into the second half when Jayden Boulton was afforded space down the left wing and he took full advantage, advancing to the corner of the penalty area before shooting low beyond keeper Finley Purcell.

Smith's free-kick was deflected just wide and Fleet were in
