Lancing give themselves hope, but it’s goodbye to Sports and Oysters

Champions Hastings United couldn’t sign off with a home win, as Sevenoaks Town delivered another fine performance to take all three points at Pilot Field. Yahaya Bamba has been a revelation for Oaks, and scored both of their goals to make it ten in nine games, whilst Knory Scott scored for the hosts.

At the other end of the table Whitstable Town are to leave us after defeat to Lancing, who will face a relegation play off or a reprieve- we’ll find out on Monday from the FA. Matt Daniel scored the only goal for the Lancers on sixty eight minutes, who will be delighted that their future is, at least, still in their own hands. Lancing fans pitctured prior to the game, courtesy of the club.

Phoenix Sports will be accompanying the Oysters out of the South East Division, after losing three-nil as they hosted Herne Bay. Mike West, Kieron Campbell and Zak Ansah earned third place and home play off advantage for Bay, who will welcome Haywards Heath Town.

Heath lost at home to VCD Athletic. Youseff Bamba put Vickers two up, and although Byron Napper pulled one back with twenty three minutes left, that was that, and the home side end the season in fourth.

Cray Valley PM remain fifth, and will travel to second place Ashford United, who also lost, as four of the top five ended with defeat. Sam Bewick’s goal gave Faversham Town victory over the Millers, whilst the Nuts and Bolts welcomed Whitehawk and lost two-one, Dan Thompson and Javaun Splatt with the Hawks goals, Tashi-Jay Kwayie scoring for the hosts.

Ramsgate missed out on the top five by one point after winning two-nil at Chichester City, Ollie Bate and Karn Miller-Neave with the goals, whilst Burgess Hill Town saw Tom Chalaye and Max Miller give them a two-one win over Three Bridges. Former Hillian Dan Perry got the Bridges goal- an equaliser, before Miller’s late winner, the cheeky chappy.

Hythe Town and East Grinstead Town got a point each, Max Walsh scoring for the Wasps early on, Alex Brown with a second half equaliser for the Cannons.

Finally, Corinthian ended a fine season with a two-nil win at Sittingbourne. Josh Stirman and Lekan Majoyegbe got the goals.
