FA Cup stars take 10 of the 11 shirts in our KentOnline team-of-the-week.

Two of them come from Herne Bay, who produced arguably the result of the weekend in holding National South Hemel Hempstead 1-1.

Goalkeeper Jack Delo had an excellent game, capped by a second-half penalty save, while Danny Walder, who's been playing with an injury, impressed at right-back.

At left-back we've gone for Tonbridge Angels' Jack Parter, who featured in a watertight back four as Steve McKimm's men won 3-0 at Wingate & Finchley to reach the third qualifying round.

Welling's Rickie Hayles gets the nod at centre-half after a goal and a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory at Whyteleafe.

He's joined in central defence by Margate's Brett Johnson, who played with six stitches in his cheek, and hit the post, as Nikki Bull's injury-hit side advanced with a 2-0 win over Biggleswade.

Gate team-mate Michael Thalassitis is one of the strikers, scoring his third goal of the season and working tirelessly.

Ebbsfleet cruised into the next round with a 5-0 win over AFC Sudbury, midfielder Stuart Lewis and two-goal frontman Darren McQueen outstanding for Daryl McMahon's team.

Harrison Carnegie was very nearly an FA Cup hero for Southern Counties East side Sevenoaks.

The midfielder's double gave Oaks a 2-1 lead against Chesham, only for ex-Fulham star Barry Hayles to level in the last minute.

Completing the midfield three is Dartford captain Elliot Bradbrook, who scored twice in a 3-2 win at Chelmsford.

The only player not in FA Cup action to make our side is Sittingbourne striker Miles Cornwell.

He scored a spectacular first-time volley, followed by a late winner in a 3-2 Ryman South victory over Horsham.
