Kent midweek results and summary

Ebbsfleet United picked up their first points of the season with a 2-1 victory at Farnborough on Wednesday.

Calum Willock gave Fleet the lead with his second goal of the season, only for ex-Gillingham striker Dean McDonald to level midway through the second half.

But Michael West popped up to hit Ebbsfleet's winner in the last minute.

Manager Liam Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "I had a go at them at half time and got a reaction out of them second half. We probably played better on Saturday."

Daish, whose side were beaten at home by Maidenhead at the weekend, added: "We got better as the game went on, created chances and it was a great strike from Michael West to win it."

Dover and Welling remain unbeaten in Blue Square Bet South after they drew 2-2 at Crabble on Tuesday.

Luke I'Anson put Dover ahead but Welling responded with Joe Healy and Andy Pugh scoring either side of the break, before Adam Birchall equalised.

"I would have taken a point before the game but after the 90 minutes I thought we deserved to take all three," Wings boss Jamie Day told BBC Radio Kent.

Dover's Martin Hayes added: "We've not played well but got ourselves back in.

"We showed some naivety at times but that's what you get with younger players.

"However they showed some character to keep going and keep plugging away and got a point.

"We've got to finish what we start and not allow sides back in.

"The first goal was poor marking, poor defending and as the half went on we were fortunate to come in at 1-1.

"When we should have been out of sight we ended up level but they're young lads and we're learning."

Day admitted he was disappointed with the result, but could not grumble with the performance.

"I'm pleased with the reaction after the 0-0 on Saturday so there are a lot of positives to take to Havant at the weekend," he said.

Bromley made it two wins out of two with a 4-2 victory at Boreham Wood - with goals from Jerrome Sobers, Nick McDonnell, Tony Finn and Ryan Dolby.

But Dartford lost 1-0 to Hampton & Richmond - not helped by the sending off of Paul Goodacre after just seven minutes.

Manager Tony Burman told BBC Radio Kent: "Two players have gone for the ball going towards goal - Paul hasn't made a tackle.

"It seems that they've collided but Paul seems to think he didn't even touch the guy but the forward's gone down.

"What I'm disappointed in is that the linesman has given the decision and the referee was in a better position and I think if it had been left to the referee he probably would have given us the benefit of the doubt.

"It could have gone either way but Paul didn't make a tackle, legs have got tangled up and the decision went against us."

The Darts have taken just a point so far in the league, but Burman insisted that last year's Ryman League champions should not be too downbeat.

"The first two games things have just gone slightly against us but it's nothing to do with the organisation or anything that the players have done," he said.

"No-one has torn us apart - that's for sure and I've been pleased with what I've seen and I know it will improve and it's our time to have some decisions go against us at the moment."
