Welling United have moved into the Blue Square South play-offs with a 7-1 thrashing of Weymouth.

There were six different scorers, only Lee Clarke netted twice.

There was an upset in the Ryman Premier as leaders Dartford lost 1-0 at home to bottom side Margate. James Pinnock got the only goal on 64 minutes.

"I don't think anyone really thought we were going to win apart from me and the lads," Margate manager Iain O'Connell told BBC Radio Kent.

"I think it's that self belief that's going to hopefully get us through the last eight games," he added.

"We need to win another four or five games to make sure we're going to be safe. After that last 10 minutes I feel like I've aged 20 years!"

The result means Margate move off the bottom, while Dartford still need 14 points from their last nine games to seal the title.

Darts boss Tony Burman felt they should have got more from the game.

"I think we deserved something out of it. I don't think that Margate did enough to take all three points.

"I think we probably deserved a draw, ok maybe didn't deserve all three points, but at the end of the day you've got to win your games."

Tonbridge are just two points off the play-offs after a 2-1 win over Maidstone.

Mark Cornielle scored an own goal to hand the Angels an 81st minute winner.

It was Tonbridge's fourth straight win and stretched their unbeaten run to eight games.

"I'm very happy as the most important thing was the win," Tonbridge boss Tom Warrilow told BBC Radio Kent.

"We knew it was going to be a very hard game and Maidstone are a good side so hopefully they'll battle away and get out of trouble themselves.

"We didn't play particularly well but when you go on a run everyone's waiting for it to finish and it was important that it didn't finish tonight."

Stones manager Peter Nott was pleased with his side's performance, but felt they were hard done by.

"I would definitely say we did enough to get a point, I think on chances we may have even done enough to get three," he said.

"I made my feelings known quite publicly about what I thought of the performance on Saturday.

"I demanded not just a performance for ourselves but for the club and I thought we did that."

Whitstable's caretaker boss Mark Lane won his first game in charge - 1-0 over Ramsgate to take them off the bottom of Ryman South.

In the same division Sittingbourne won 2-1 at Whyteleafe but Chatham lost 4-3 to Corinthian.

The Kent League Cup final will be between Herne Bay and Sevenoaks, after Sevenoaks beat Beckenham on away goals.

Norton Sports and Greenwich both won in the Kent league.
