Final day delivered exactly what it promised — tension, twists, and a play-off line-up that went right down to the wire.

Fisher confirmed second place in emphatic style with a 5-0 win over Tunbridge Wells. Rafael Garcia struck twice early (3’, 13’) — with Lorenzo Duncan also on the scoresheet in that frantic opening spell — before Chibueze Echem (77’) and Festos Kamara (87’) wrapped up a dominant performance. They head into Tuesday night full of confidence as they prepare to host Punjab United.

Rusthall made absolutely sure of third — and a home semi-final — with a 3-0 win at Holmesdale. Louie Clarke opened the scoring (50’) before Jack Kirby took over late on with two goals (86’, 90+5’) to seal it. They’ll now host Larkfield & New Hythe in what promises to be a tight contest.

Larkfield & New Hythe did what they had to do, edging a 1-0 win at Stansfeld thanks to Sonny Black’s early strike (14’). It wasn’t about style, just substance — and it’s enough to secure their play-off place.

Punjab United held their nerve to claim fourth, drawing 1-1 at Snodland Town. Charlie Sheringham gave the hosts the lead (16’), but Jack Hopkins responded quickly (20’) to earn the point Punjab needed. It sets up a tough trip to Fisher, but their late-season form means they won’t fear anyone.

That result meant heartbreak for Bearsted, who could only draw 1-1 with Sutton Athletic. Hugo Taylor had put Sutton ahead (36’) before Conrad Lee levelled after the break (47’), but it wasn’t enough. From a strong position just weeks ago, they fall short at the final hurdle.

Elsewhere, Hollands & Blair signed off with a 1-0 win over Erith & Belvedere, while Faversham Strike Force and Chislehurst Glebe played out a 2-2 draw. Corinthian and Champions Whitstable Town also shared the points in a 1-1 draw, as did Phoenix Sports and Kennington.

So, the regular season is done — and now it’s all about the play-offs.
