Kent football results and summary

Jamie Day's Welling are still top of conference south

Blue Square Bet South leaders Welling United maintained top spot with a 4-1 win at Thurrock.

The Wings went behind on twelve minutes but scored through a Lee Clarke penalty and an own goal before the break.

Loick Pires and Andy Pugh netted after the break to wrap up their fifth straight victory.

Dartford are still third after beating Bromley 3-1, Dover drew but Tonbridge were beaten 6-3 in an entertaining game at home to Woking.

The Wings' victory at Thurrock, who are bottom of the table, means they have won five and drawn one of their first six games.

Welling manager Jamie Day told BBC Radio Kent: "We were disappointed to concede a goal but we were playing well enough up until then.

"We set ourselves targets, we're delighted to be top, but we won't get carried away. We've got to keep going and hopefully grind out results along the way. Five wins and a draw wasn't our target but we'll take it," he said.

Tonbridge's big defeat at home to Woking means they drop into the bottom half of the table for the first time this season and keeps Woking second above Dartford, who remain third after beating neighbours Bromley.

Elliot Bradbrook, Charlie Sheringham from the penalty sport and substitute Danny Harris all scored at Princes Park to maintain Dartford's unbeaten start to the season.

Manager Tony Burman said: "The players have worked hard, they've played some good football and I thought the result was right. I'm really pleased we got double figures, we've increased that and I'm pleased our target has been established."

Ramsgate are still Kent's highest placed side in Ryman South. Pascal Ebigbo and Mark Lovell scored in the closing minutes of the first and second half respectively to beat Ryman league newboys Hythe Town 2-0.

Ramsgate manager Jim Ward told BBC Radio Kent they can win promotion, but still feels there are a couple of clubs in the division that are better than his side.

"We've got a small squad, half of them are kids. We can't quite compete with the Whitehawks and Bognor Regis' of the division but we'll be able to compete with everyone else I think.

"History between Ramsgate and Hythe goes back years to our Kent league days and today it was like a Kent league game, no quarter given, no quarter asked." he said.

Hythe boss Scott Porter, whose side have won just one of their first four games since promotion from the Kent league, says it isn't a case of struggling to adjust to this level.

"We knew it was going to be this tough. If you make mistakes in certain areas you are punished. But we'll be OK. We're just getting going, we'll kick on." said Porter.

It's three wins out of four for Folkestone after they beat fellow East Kent coast side Whitstable 4-1. Manager Neil Cugley said: "We were expecting a hard game, we had to battle in there to get the points. We started the game brightly, played some good football early on, but we lost Stuart King to injury and had to change the system.

"Whitstable got the equaliser but after half time we worked really hard and earned our victory."

Chatham Town lost their one hundred percent record as they drew 1-1 with Tilbury. They have been overtaken at the top of the Ryman North table by Grays, on goal difference.

Herne Bay have replaced Erith and Belvedere are the top of the Kent league thanks to a 2-1 win over Canterbury, Bly Spartans still top the Kent Invicta League after their 1-0 win at Sutton and following Monday's results Bredhurst Juniors are the only side with three wins out of three in the Kent County league.
