Our leaders Ramsgate had to come from two goals down to defeat Burgess Hill Town at the weekend, and they had to do it again at Ashford United last night. The Nuts and Bolts got off to a flyer, Connor Dymond scoring his first goal of the season after a goalmouth scramble in the ninth minute, and midway through the half a breakaway goal from Vance Bola- who moves into double figures for the season- made it two.
The Rams got back into the game just before the break, Joe Taylor fouled in the box, and of course the deadliest marksman in the league got up and scored from the spot- his thirty fourth of the campaign. The visitors levelled with twenty one minutes to go, good work from Benny Bioletti and Wes Hennessey setting up Alfie Paxman to finish, and just four minutes later Taylor was at it again, taking his tally to thirty five and putting his side ahead for the first time, three-two.
A few minutes later the hosts went down to ten men, Dymond completing a rather mixed night by collecting a red card, and that was that.
The Rams have a fourteen point lead at the top, although second place Cray Valley PM do have four games in hand and will hope to make them count.
