Saturday 28th February
The final Saturday of February survived the weather — mostly. Two fixtures fell to waterlogged pitches, but where football was played, there were big moments at both ends of the table.
Whitstable Town 1–1 Larkfield & New Hythe
Whitstable remain 17 points clear and are now 18 league games unbeaten, but they were made to work for it.
Javaun Splatt gave the leaders the advantage on 56 minutes before Steven Famose struck back (71’) to earn Larkfield a valuable point.
For the Larks, it ends a three-game losing run and stabilises their hold on second place. For Whitstable, it’s another step closer to the inevitable — even if this one wasn’t routine.
Stansfeld 1–3 Hythe Town
Bottom met second-bottom — and second-bottom delivered.
Stansfeld led at the break through Macey Malyon (37’), but Hythe responded with urgency and purpose. Jason Fregene (49’) levelled before Jerald Aboagye (58’) turned it around. A late third sealed it.
Hythe have now won back-to-back games, injecting real belief into their survival push.
Stansfeld are now 11 without a win and sit 12 points from safety. Time is slipping.
Fisher 4–2 Faversham Strike Force
Third hosted third-from-bottom — and third underlined why.
Alex Kozak (34’), Jack Gibbons (39’) and Lorenzo Duncan (45+2’) put Fisher firmly in control before Jaedon Reynolds added gloss deep into stoppage time (90+10’).
Strike Force battled through Mefose Esumobi (41’) and Alex Willis (63’ pen), but Fisher were always a step ahead.
That’s now nine unbeaten for Fisher, who are surging at precisely the right moment.
Strikeforce, meanwhile, are just six points above the drop zone. The cushion is shrinking.
Snodland Town 0–0 Erith & Belvedere
No goals, but plenty at stake.
The point keeps both firmly in the play-off picture. The Deres edge up to fifth, Snodland remain seventh. Neither gained ground — neither lost it.
Corinthian 1–1 Bearsted
Ashton Mitford gave Bearsted the lead early (11’), but Tom Mitcham replied before half-time (45+1’).
For Bearsted, it’s now just one defeat in ten — impressive on paper — but six draws in that run show why they haven’t quite broken clear. They remain fourth.
Corinthian sit 15th and are now 10 points clear of danger. Job nearly done.
Sutton Athletic 1–0 Kennington
New manager, new bounce.
James Dyer — on dual registration from Erith Town — marked his debut with the winner on 45 minutes to hand Sutton a vital three points.
They climb to eighth, just three points off the play-offs. Kennington remain 13th — safe, steady, but unlikely to trouble either end of the table.
Postponed
Rusthall v Hollands & Blair
Tunbridge Wells v Phoenix Sports
Waterlogged pitches claimed two fixtures.
Unbeaten leaders.
A survival revival.
A play-off race refusing to separate.
March is looming — and the Premier Division is far from settled.
