Maxted wins it for Faversham

By Peter Butcher

A GOAL by Jamie Maxted lifted Faversham two places to fourth in the Ryman South table.

He scored after 21 minutes and it was enough to earn them a 1-0 home win over Tooting despite the late dismissal of Darren Marsden.

Three Bridges must have been pleased that their home game against Corinthian-Casuals went ahead while League One neighbours Crawley had their match against Preston called off.

A bonus for Bridges was that a number of Preston fans made their way to the Jubilee Field, but that was as good as it got for the league’s bottom club, who went down 2-1 – their 11th home defeat of the season.

Abu Touray gave Bridges a short-lived lead six minutes before half-time. James Cottee equalised before the break and Joe Hicks hit the winner two minutes after the restart.

Bridges found themselves six points adrift after Walton Casuals, who also have two games in hand, managed a 1-1 home draw with Ramsgate. Still looking for their first win on home turf, where they have lost eight out of 12. Casuals fell behind to an Ian Pulman goal after 24 minutes and replied with a Mu Maan penalty on the hour.
