The weekend as it happens

Scroll down for Saturday and Sunday updates

In the Kent County League Premier Division the relegation struggle looks like going to the wire with Milton picking up a surprise point from a 1-1 draw at Rusthall and defeats for the Green (3-0 at Stansfeld), Sheerness (2-1 at Cray) and Snodland (3-1 at Bly). At the other end of the table, Hollands & Blair are now clear favourites for the title after winning 2-0 at their main rivals Fleet Leisure. In Division One East Kennington were comfortable victors, 3-0, against visitors Lydd. Better news for the Green Reserves who recorded a useful 2-0 win away to local rivals Kennington Reserves. More details later on the Match Reports link but Phil Wedge was delighted with his makeshift line-up and perhaps discipline is starting to return to the squad as it was an afternoon devoid of yellow and red cards. New Romney seconds closed in on the main prize with a run-of-the-mill 3-1 home win over Platt Reserves.

On Sunday a terrific strike by the in-form Robbie Greenfield midway into the second half settled an entertaining game with Ashford steve-mailey-24-march-2009-bgvaldington1Cavaliers at the Swan Ground. With so many chances squandered at either end,  it is amazing that only one goal was scored. For Green manager Steve Mailey [pictured right looking for players!] it was a chance to complete the double over his former club. A splendid win for the Reserves, sponsored by ’5S Drainage’, at Appledore with Lee Bloxham and Ashley Webster netting in the 2-1 success. At Hythe, Mersham were unable to penetrate a solid Lydd defence and, after their Division One final had been goalless for  much of the tie, it was the Lydders who snatched the glory.
