Frontrunners Faversham remained at the top of the Southern Counties East Premier Division table as they completed the double over VCD on Saturday.

The Lilywhites, who won 3-0 at The Oakwood on the opening day of the campaign, led from the 12th minute as an away player put the ball through their own goal at Salters Lane.

Prolific frontman Stefan Payne doubled Town’s lead when he found the bottom corner. Remarkably, 32-year-old Payne now has 20 club goals in as many appearances.

Faversham also gave Rahman Kareem a debut - the defender having signed from Lordswood. Indeed, Kareem had netted for the Medway outfit to knock Sammy Moore’s men out of the Kent Senior Trophy last month.

Two-goal Emmanuel Oloyede helped in-form Whitstable move second with a 3-0 home win against Holmesdale.

Fellow forward Harvey Smith gave Marcel Nimani’s Oystermen the lead on 10 minutes before Oloyede continued his fine form in front of goal. It was a fifth consecutive win for Whitstable who are on a seven-game unbeaten run and three points off the summit.

Corinthian moved into the play-offs through a 5-0 home triumph against Punjab.

Winger Michael Hagan and Charlie Clover were both at the double, substitute Ross Obazee rounding the victory off late on. They are a point ahead of sixth-placed Deal but Steve King’s side have two league matches in hand.

Forward Ollie Milton came up with the only goal as high-fliers Erith Town edged past Hollands & Blair.

Basement boys Kennington were pegged back in a 1-1 draw against Rusthall. Ryan Philpott put Dan Scorer’s side in front at Homelands, only for Tarik Ibrahim to equalise.

Bearsted were edged out at Fisher, going down to Nathan Tshola’s 74th-minute goal.

Two Todd Brand goals inside four minutes helped K Sports come from behind to win 2-1 against fourth-bottom Meridian VP in Division 1.

Third-bottom Greenways earned only their second league success of the season, winning 4-2 at Forest Hill Park.

Michael Paton got a hat-trick with Tom Reardon on target, as well.

Canterbury City suffered a 3-0 away loss to FC Elmstead.

All other scheduled weekend games across the two divisions fell victim to the weather.
