Maidstone's Ryman League Premier Division relegation fears grew on Tuesday night as they slumped to a dismal 3-0 defeat at home to Hendon in caretaker-manager Peter Nott's first game in charge following the departure of joint-bosses Lloyd Hume and Alan Walker earlier this week.

The visitors took the lead on six minutes and doubled the advantage three minutes later at Homelands before wrapping up the points with a third after just 26 minutes.

Tonbridge Angels eased their worries slightly after a 3-2 win over Cray Wanderers at Longmead took them one place out of the relegation zone - though fourth-bottom Billericay are three points behind with a game in hand.

Mark Cumberbatch netted the winner five minutes from time after Angels had thown away a 2-0 lead given to them by Kirk Watts and another from Cumberbatch.

Margate remain third-bottom, four points behind Tonbridge and Maidstone, after drawing 1-1 at home to high-flying Wealdstone after a Joe Healy equaliser 15 minutes from time.

Folkestone enhanced their Ryman League Division 1 South credentials, irrespective of any 10-point penalty for entering a CVA, with a superb 2-0 win at high-flying Godalming Town.

Godalming are the only side to have beaten Invicta at home this season and were well-placed in the race to overtake Invicta once their penalty is imposed, however goals from Liam Dickson and Simon Austin extended Invicta's lead to 11 points over the chasing pack - effectively seeing them retake the lead in the division.
