Anvils march on at the top

Gabriel Odunaike became the first player to breach the Dulwich defence this season in the 29th minute. His example was followed nine minutes later by Jamie Cade. Carl Wilson-Denis pulled one back on 55 minutes but Ross Morley quickly restored the two-goal margin.

Stuart King’s hat-trick maintained Folkestone’s 100 per cent record and lifted them into second place with a 3-1 victory at Chipstead. King scored after 24 and 35 minutes, and that was it until eight minutes from time, when Rob Watkins gave Chips some hope. But King had the last word in the 88th minute.

Herne Bay collected their second away victory despite conceding a seventh-minute goal at Eastbourne, where Danny Curd was on the mark. The home side held their lead for an hour but were then hit by three goals in ten minutes from Josh Sargeant, James Campbell and Andy Irvine. Ben Billings reduced the arrears deep into added time and the Kent newcomers won 3-2.

Hythe came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home to Burgess Hill. An early own goal by Nick Reeves gave the Hillians a boost and Ryan McBride doubled their lead in the 56th minute. Nick Barnes pulled one back a minute later and Craig Thompson squared it in the 75th minute.

Worthing picked up their first points with a 2-0 home victory over Maidstone. Scott Tipper put them ahead in the 66th minute, his fourth goal of the weekend, and Nick Sullivan made sure with a minute to go.

A Graeme Purdy penalty two minutes from time was enough to give Walton & Hersham all three points at home to Merstham.

Faversham pulled off a 2-1 success at Tooting, Adrian Stone getting their winner five minutes after the break. Ashley Brown had put them ahead midway through the first half and Tooting drew level six minutes later with a Lee Hall penalty.

Two other matches were postponed because of FA Cup replays.
