Folkestone Invicta are the new Ryman League Division 1 South leaders thanks to the point they picked up in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Ramsgate.

But Neil Cugley's side, who were reduced to 10 men when Frankie Chappell was sent off, left it late with the goal by Stuart King, pictured, coming in added time after Curtis Robinson had given Ramsgate the lead 10 minutes from the end.

Meanwhile, 10-man Faversham produced a stunning comeback to win 3-2 at Whitstable.

With Jamie Maxted having already been red carded, it looked all over for Ray Turner's side when Rob Gillman put Whitstable 2-0 up on 71 minutes. But James Peacock quickly pulled one back, Renford Tenyue equalised with five minutes left and Wayne Wilson grabbed Faversham's winner.

Whitstable, who had taken the lead through Stuart Vahid just before the interval, then had their miserable night made complete when Scott Heard was dismissed in the dying seconds.

Hythe Town's bid to pull off an FA Trophy giant-killing over Hampton & Richmond ended when they were beaten 4-0 in their first qualifying round replay at Reachfields. Hampton, second in the Ryman League Premier Division, swept to victory thanks to a hat-trick from Charlie Moone and a strike from Malvin Kamara.

Chatham squandered a two-goal lead as they drew 2-2 at Cheshunt in Ryman League Division 1 North.

Jean-Michel Sigere put Chats ahead on 18 minutes and Jack Pallen added another five minutes after the break. But Courtney White pulled one back on 72 minutes and Cheshunt were then handed the draw by Matt Newman’s own goal five minutes later.
