A stoppage-time equaliser denied Thamesmead their first Ryman League victory on Wednesday night after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Potters Bar.

Pedro Knight's 82nd-minute goal looked to have given Keith McMahon's side maximum points.

But they sat back and paid the ultimate price when Potters Bar's pressure finally told courtesy of Shane Mangodza's close-range effort two minutes into time added on.

Ashford staged a remarkable comeback on Tuesday night to win 4-3 at Crowborough having trailed 2-0 after just 18 minutes.

Steve Lovell's side hit back in the second half through Charlie Glyde, Mitchell Sherwood's penalty, James Humphrey and Paul Jones to lead 4-2 before the hosts pulled one back.

Folkestone made it two wins out of two in Division 1 South, winning 2-1 against Chipstead.

Invicta conceded early on but on-loan Gillingham striker Andy Pugh headed in his second goal in as many games to level before Jimmy Jackson's first goal for Invicta sealed the win.

Jake Gess converted two penalties as Whitstable also collected three points with a 3-2 home success over Croydon Athletic. The winner came via an own goal following Danny Tipple's cross.

Sittingbourne were indebted to a late winner by Richard Brady to see off Merstham after they came from a goal down to win 2-1. Michael Morgan put Merstham ahead but Elie Kayembe equalised just before half-time for the Brickies.

Cray Wanderers were put to the sword, losing 5-0 at Met Police.

In Division 1 North, Chatham suffered their first defeat of the season, going down 1-0 to Wingate & Finchley.

Division 1 South: Crowborough 3 Ashford 4, Folkestone 2 Chipstead 1, Merstham 1 Sittingbourne 2, Met Police 5 Cray Wanderers 0, Whitstable 3 Croydon Athletic 2.
