Calum Willock joined Ebbsfleet from Cambridge United in 2010

Ebbsfleet United moved up to fifth in Blue Square Bet South thanks to a 3-1 win at Dover.

Adam Birchall's 31st goal of the season gave Dover a lead but the Fleet hit back with goals from Tom Phipp, Ashley Carew and Calum Willock.

Ebbsfleet manager Liam Daish told BBC Radio Kent: "Winning at Dover, a hard place to come, the lads are buzzing at the moment."

Bromley won to go second and Dartford's win takes them out of the bottom three.

Bromley came from behind to beat Weston Super Mare, who beat them 7-0 in the corresponding fixture in December.

Defender Harrison Dunk scored the winner for his second goal in two games.

Charlie Sheringham's late winner for Dartford at Bishops Stortford has taken them from 20th to 17th in the Blue Square Bet South table.

After a run of five straight defeats they have now won four and drawn one of their last five.

Manager Tony Burman said: "It's nice, it becomes a habit like losing became a habit.

"I've given the players a lot of stick over the month, but they've been excellent today," he added.

Dover's defeat means they are eighth in the table having won just three of their twelve home games.

Manager Martin Hayes described the Ebbsfleet defeat as one of their worst performances of the season.

He said: "It's down there with some of them, I don't know if it was as bad as Farnborough, but they (Ebbsfleet) were good.

"We got punished today, it seemed to be a day of gifts. We were second best, we've let the fans down."

Tonbridge Angels let a 3-0 lead slip as they drew 3-3 with fellow promotion chasers Lowestoft Town. It means Tonbridge remain 6th in the Ryman Premier Division.

The success of Ryman South continues to be Faversham Town. They have lost just one of their last 15 games after a 1-1 draw at Fleet Town.

Faversham are just two places outside the play-offs in their first season since promotion, but manager Justin Luchford is keeping his feet on the ground.

He said: "We had to set our stall out to get 50 points, and that's still the case, nothing's changed. It's once we get to 50 points, we can look at other things, but this is good, everyone is enjoying it and long may that continue."

Herne Bay's lead at the top of the Kent league has been cut to one point after they lost to second placed Erith Town.
