Whitstable Town stretched their remarkable run to 20 league games unbeaten and moved another step closer to the title with a dramatic late victory over Erith & Belvedere. The visitors led through Ryan Fowler’s 23rd-minute opener and looked set to take the points, but Whitstable produced a stunning stoppage-time turnaround. Joe Healy struck in the third minute of added time before Dean Grant completed the comeback two minutes later to seal a 2-1 win. The leaders now hold an 18-point advantage with eight games remaining and need just three more victories to secure the trophy.

Second-placed Fisher strengthened their grip on the top play-off spot with a dominant 5-0 win at Holmesdale, doing most of the damage in a blistering first-half display.

Festos Kamara rounded things off late on to complete an emphatic afternoon for the visitors.
