Highlights: Chichester City 1 Herne Bay 3

Herne Bay travelled to Chichester City, and returned in sixth place- outside the top five only on goal difference. Bay’s third successive win started when Kane Rowland delivered his seventh goal of the season after twenty minutes, and- perhaps against the run of play- Rowland doubled the lead just after the hour. With a quarter of an hour left Gil Carvalho got his seventh of the season to make it three and remove any doubt about the outcome, and Joe Moore’s goal for City, which arrived four minutes from time, was no more than a consolation. City are eighth- and, rather peculiarly, four of their last five matches have ended three-one, three of them defeats.
