Gate's cup quarter-final date

MARGATE'S John Ullman Kent Senior Cup quarter-final against Welling will be played at Ramsgate’s Southwood ground on Tuesday, March 2 (kick-off 7.45pm).

A club spokesman said: "This venue has been chosen to enable as many of our fans to attend what will be a ‘local game’ as a thank you for their continued support due to the extended traveling they have endured during our current ground share arrangement.

"Our thanks also go out to Ramsgate FC for agreeing to help stage this match, which should be a highly entertaining encounter, with Welling United likely to feature former Gate favorite Phil Collins in their squad”.

Margate will be looking to continue their improved form on Saturday when they travel to next-to-bottom Leigh RMI.

Gate go into the game having taken 13 points out of their last 18 in the Conference.

The match gives them the chance of another home and away double, having beaten Leigh 2-0 at Crabble in October.

Missing from the trip will be defender Sam Sodje, who serves a one-match ban.
