There are a few surprise faces in our latest team of the week.

Gillingham are represented as are our National League clubs but players from Ryman League level and below have also made the cut.

In goal we've chosen Oshane Brown after he kept a clean sheet for Sevenoaks Town in their FA Cup tie away to Lewes - who play in the division above. Brown and the Southern Counties East side now have a replay to look forward to at Greatness Park on Wednesday night.

Dartford have the most players - three - included this week after they held National League South leaders Maidenhead to a goalless draw at Princes Park.

Tom Gardiner and Tom Wynter were both part of Tony Burman's defence as was Danny Harris for most of the game, the forward dropping back to help out after Keaton Wood came off injured.

The standout performer for Gills against Sheffield United on Sunday was centre-half Deji Oshilaja, while Dover's 1-0 win at Southport was largely thanks to a fine performance by Jamie Grimes.

It's an all-Maidstone central midfield pairing this week. Dan Sweeney turned in his best performance for the Stones in their 2-2 draw with Wrexham at the Gallagher Stadium with Jack Paxman excellent alongside him.

Ricky Modeste scored the only goal as Dover returned from the north-west with three points after a game which signalled the end of Southport manager Andy Bishop's reign as manager.

A hat-trick from Adam Coombes helped Welling to a 5-0 win at Concord in National South, while Sam Hasler's late double saw Herne Bay through to the next round of the FA Cup as 3-1 victors over Ashford Town.
