Vote for your star man in KentOnline's team of the week

Vote for your star man in KentOnline's team of the week.

Congratulations to Lordswood forward Luke Medley, who won last week's poll with 20% of the vote after he scored twice in a 3-1 win over Whitstable.

We've included some of your nominations in this week's selection. Have a look at today's XI and pick your favourite at the bottom of the page.

Ashford United goalkeeper Jacob Russell made three impressive saves as they grabbed a last-gasp 2-1 win at fellow promotion hopefuls Beckenham in Isthmian South East.

Donvieve Jones scored twice for Sittingbourne as they won 5-0 against Haywards Heath. The right-back, who hadn't scored since October, took his season's tally to nine for the season.

Centre-back Jake Goodman put in a solid defensive display for Dover as they kept a clean sheet in a goalless National League South draw with play-off hopefuls Chelmsford.

Josh Oliver scored twice for Whitstable in a 3-0 win over Sutton Athletic but we've opted for Cameron Chamberlain, who was making his full league debut. The 18-year-old helped his side to a clean sheet, producing a mature performance for such a young player.

It could have been a long day for Sevenoaks' Karn Miller-Neave after a first-minute yellow card against Burgess Hill. But he bounced back in style, heading in a second-half equaliser and then earning a spot-kick which put his side ahead in a 3-1 win.

Sheppey's Danny Leonard certainly earned his spot, scoring twice and setting up another goal as the Ites drew 3-3 with Ramsgate at Holm Park.

George Lapslie made it two goals in as many games for Gillingham. He netted the second as Neil Harris' men made it five wins in seven games, beating bottom side Rochdale 2-0.

The goals were certainly flying in for our forwards - so we've picked four of them in an attacking line-up!

On-loan Gills youngster Ronald Sithole scored twice and turned in a player-of-the-match display as Faversham moved off the bottom of the table by defeating Cray Valley 2-0. He also netted in a 3-3 draw at Ramsgate last midweek so has made quite an impression at the Salters Lane outfit.

Another among the goals was George Alexander for Welling. On loan from Bromley, Alexander took advantage of some questionable Slough defending to net a hat-trick inside 33 first-half minutes.

Dominic Poleon continues to fire Ebbsfleet towards the National League South title. He earns his spot with a second hat-trick of the campaign, netting three times in a 6-2 thrashing of Hampton at Stonebridge Road to take his season tally up to 27.

With Ade Yusuff now at Hornchurch, Folkestone Invicta turned to Ibrahim Olutade against Corinthian Casuals on Saturday. He delivered with a brace to help Invicta to a 3-2 win and took his personal tally up to 14 for the campaign.

No prizes for guessing our top manager. Sittingbourne posted only their second home league win of the season - their first was against Faversham in August - as they moved a step closer to safety with a 5-0 victory against Haywards Heath. Ryan Maxwell has reshaped his squad since taking charge at Woodstock and, if that result is anything to go by, they will be climbing up the table sooner rather than later.
