Saturday's Premier Division review

Kingstonian and AFC Hornchurch share the lead at the top of the Ryman Premier Division after the K's earned all three points on Saturday and the Urchins drew in Kent at Maidstone United, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

K's faced top ten side Lewes at Kingsmeadow and fell behind to a Nathan Crabb goal after less than three minutes. Andre McCollin equalised from the spot on 26 minutes and then gave the home side the lead nine minutes after half-time. The Rooks had Jay Lovett sent-off 12 minutes from time for a second bookable offence and the K`s took advantage to add two more to their tally, Ryan Moss on 88 minutes and then McCollin, who completed his hat-trick in injury-time.

In front of another terrific crowd of 1,879 at the Gallagher Stadium, Hornchurch's Leigh Bremner struck two minutes after Maidstone United's 10th minute opener from on-loan Tom Phipp to ensure the Urchins returned home with a share of the spoils after a solid performance.

Wealdstone are third after a 3-1 Grosvenor Vale win over ten-man Leiston.

Veteran Scott McGleish gave the Stones a 27th minute lead that he doubled right on half-time. Tom Pett virtually made it game over when he notched the home side's third just three minutes into the second half. That became even more certain a few minutes later when Stuart Boardley received two yellow cards within six minutes but the ten-men rallied to reduce the deficit through Craig Parker in the 68th minute.

Erhun Oztumer struck a hat-trick as fifth-placed Dulwich Hamlet made hard work of securing a 4-3 victory against struggling Enfield Town after a moment of madness saw Dean Lodge sent-off before half-time.

Otzumer made it 2-0 to Hamlet by the 33rd minute, but Town were boosted by Lodge's dismissal in first half stoppage time. Liam Hope reduced the arrears nine minutes into the second half and then a great volley from Anton Olondo pulled Town level five minutes later. But the home side's Mark Kirby levelled the teams up when he was sent-off for deliberate handball 10 minutes from time and Otzumer completed his hat-trick from the resultant penalty. Xavier Vidal made it 4-2 in the 87th minute, although Tyler Campbell ensured a nervy end when he pulled a third back in the 89th minute.

Lowestoft Town keep another clean sheet and put in a clinical performance to beat a hard working Margate side 3-0 at Crown Meadow. Jake Reed gave the Trawlerboys the boost of an early third minute lead than Manny Osei added to just before the break. Sam Gaughram made sure the points stayed in Suffolk with a third on 66 minutes.

Bognor Regis Town raced to victory again at Nyewood Lane with another convincing display against Bury Town. After a relatively tight and first half that saw Terry Dodd give the Rocks an 18th minute lead, six more goals, including Dodd completing his hat-trick, came in the final 45 minutes. Ben Johnson and Kane Wills were the other home scorers, with Billy Clark and Shane Tolley replying for the Blues.

Harrow Borough produced another fine performance to extend their unbeaten away run in the league to six matches with a first-ever success at Canvey Island`s Park Lane at the eleventh time of asking. And they had to come back from being a 24th minute Moses Ademola goal down to win too. Victor Osobu equalised a minute before the break and then gave Boro the lead 11 minutes into the second period. Steve Butterworth`s penalty a couple of minutes from time secured the points for Dave Anderson`s side.

Hampton & Richmond Borough survived Tom Hickey`s 57th minute dismissal to record a 2-1 success at New Lodge against Billericay Town. Charlie Moone was once more the Beavers` hero with a brace in the 15th and then 89th minutes after Joey Benjamin had equalised on 34 minutes.

It was goalless between Grays Athletic and Metropolitan Police, while three of the bottom four sides picked up points from drawn matches.

Carshalton Athletic remain bottom but shared a 1-1 draw at Bayliss Avenue against third-bottom Thamesmead Town, whose Junior Baker equalised 13 minutes from time after Niall McManus had given the Robins the lead just before half-time.

And second-bottom Cray Wanderers also picked up a useful away point at Wingate & Finchley where this time the hosts left it even later to pull level. Jack Sherratt gave Cray the lead on the half-hour mark and it looked as though that was going to be enough. However, in the final minute of normal time, Ola Williams was brought down in the box and David Laird kept his cool to pull Wingate level from the spot.

Hendon and East Thurrock United also shared the spoils at Earlsmead in a 2-2 draw. Lee O`Leary gave the Greens the boost of a goal right on half-time, only for Jason Hallett to level five minutes after the break. David Bryant then put the Rocks ahead with 15 minutes remaining before veteran striker Jefferson Louis equalised seven minutes later.
