Two matches fell victim to the weather, but the Premier Division still produced decisive results at both ends of the table — and the leading pack are showing no signs of slowing down.
Larkfield & New Hythe extended their stay at the summit with a composed 3–0 win over Sutton Athletic. Tunde Aderonmu struck early before Tyler Ibe added goals either side of the break to seal it. Sutton’s task became even tougher when James Bayford saw red after 21 minutes, while Larkfield’s remarkable run continues: five straight wins, unbeaten in 12, and still flawless at home.
Whitstable Town kept the pressure on with a dramatic late victory at Phoenix Sports. The game looked destined for a stalemate until home playmaker Lyle Della-Verde was sent off, shifting the momentum. Nathan Jeche took full advantage, slotting home a 90th-minute winner to keep Whitstable firmly in the chase.
Rusthall stay third after a thrilling 3–2 win away at Hythe Town. The hosts delivered their best performance in a while and raced into a 2–0 lead through Steadman Callender and Kai Garrett inside 11 minutes. But Rusthall clawed their way back — Jack Kirby halving the deficit just past the hour, Yassin Fares converting from the spot soon after, and Kirby completing the turnaround on 79 minutes.
Bearsted were emphatic in the play-off clash with Holmesdale, easing to a 4–0 win to stay fourth. Ashton Mitford broke the deadlock before Jake Embery took over, scoring a late hat-trick — including a stoppage-time penalty — to round off a dominant display.
Punjab United continued their push up the table, rising to seventh with a 3–1 home win over Chislehurst Glebe. Roman Campbell put them ahead before late goals from Hudson Scudder and Jack Hopkins settled it deep into stoppage time. Glebe, who had led through Malachi Morris, remain stuck in the bottom two.
Stansfeld stay rooted to the foot of the table after a narrow 1–0 defeat to in-form Hollands & Blair. It’s now three straight wins — all with clean sheets — for Blair, who climb to 14th.
Erith & Belvedere complete the roundup with a 2–1 win at Faversham Strike Force. Early pressure paid off via Tommy Whitnell’s fourth-minute opener, and Freddie Baker added a second just after the hour. Brooke Tiernan pulled one back late on, but the Deres had already done enough to rise to sixth, while Strike Force drop to 15th.
A trimmed fixture list, but plenty of impact — especially at the top, where the pace is relentless.
