Saturday football round-up

RAMSGATE stay top of Ryman League Division 1 after a narrow 1-0 victory at Walton Casuals on Saturday.

Michael Yianni's fourth goal of the season won it for Jim Ward's side when he reacted quicker than the Walton defenders to hammer home from inside the six-yard box.

Shaun Welford later hit a post as the visitors tried to make the game safe.

But Tonbridge Angels suffered a blow to their title aspirations with a 3-2 reverse against fellow high-flyers Tooting & Mitcham United in a thrilling match at Longmead.

The visitors raced into a 3-0 lead with goals from Scott Kinch, Jason Pinnock and Danny Twin and the game looked to be beyond Tony Dolby's side.

But Jon Main gave them a glimmer of hope with 10 minutes to play and then an own goal made it 3-2. But Angels just couldn't find another breakthrough in the six minutes of stoppage time.

Dover Athletic also failed to win, although goals from Craig Wilkins and Shane Hamshare were enough for a share of the points at Kingstonian.

It was better news for Ashford Town, who recorded their first away victory of the season thanks to a stoppage time winner from Solomon Henry.

But Cray Wanderers suffered their fourth defeat in the last six games with a surprising 3-0 reverse at home against struggling Newport IOW.

In the Ryman League Premier Division, Folkestone Invicta recorded their second win of the week with victory over Windsor & Eton at the Buzzlines Stadium.

It was a dour match, but Invicta won't care as Kevin Watson's first goal for the club, a 60th minute penalty given for a foul by visiting skipper Jamie Jarvis on Chris Wright, earned them the three points.

First half goals from Hasim Deen and Lawrence Yiga gave Margate the platform to go on and beat East Thurrock United at Hartsdown Park.

Chris Kinnear's side held on for a 2-1 win despite the visitors pulling a goal back eight minutes from time.

And Bromley will be happy to take a point after coming from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at Slough Town. Sam Wood pulled one back on the hour mark and then Mark Willy earned them a point three minutes before the final whistle.

In Southern League Division 1 East, Chatham Town produced a solid display to beat Wingate & Finchley 3-1.

Rob Denness and Byron Walker put Chats 2-0 ahead and although Guy Morris pulled one back for the visitors with 12 minutes to play, Mark Brooks's first of the season sealed the win in the 83rd minute.
