Players from Ebbsfleet United, Dartford, Margate, Welling United, Tonbridge and Folkestone Invicta included in KentOnline Team-of-the-Week

13:00, 10 October 2016

Gillingham players are conspicuous by their absence in this week's KentOnline team-of-the-week.

Not one of Justin Edinburgh's side make it after their disappointing 2-1 home defeat to League 1 strugglers Oldham Athletic.

The Vanarama National League South features strongly with no less than nine of the players chosen coming from that division.

Ebbsfleet have two representatives, including goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore who made a string of key saves in their 2-0 win at Weston-super-Mare.

Welling debutant Matt Fish gets the right-back berth after starring in the 2-1 home defeat to leaders Maidenhead, and on the opposite side is the first of Dartford's three representatives, Keaton Wood, one of their scorers in the impressive 5-0 win at Truro.

Folkestone Invicta's Frankie Chappell's afternoon started badly at Worthing where he conceded a penalty but the centre-half then atoned by scoring a late equaliser in a 3-3 draw.

He is partnered at the heart of the defence by Margate's Danny Fitzsimons who marked his return from a loan spell at Greenwich with a commanding display in the 2-1 home win over Hemel Hempstead.

The Blues also provide two of our three-man midfield with the industrious Luke Moore and Alex Osborn joining Dartford's Alex Brown, another of their scorers at Truro.

Two-goal Duane Ofori-Acheampong completes a hat-trick of Dartford players and he is partnered up front by Tonbridge hitman Nathan Elder - scorer of their opening goal in a 2-0 win at Grays - and Ebbsfleet's Danny Kedwell, who was also on the mark at Weston.
