You can now vote for your star man in KentOnline's team-of-the-week.

Last week's inaugural poll attracted almost 700 votes and saw Sittingbourne midfielder Harrison Hatfull beat Dartford's goalscoring keeper Deren Ibrahim with 35%.

We've got some strong contenders in this week's team, too, including a centre-half scoring a 90th-minute equaliser and a midfielder who ran the length of the pitch to score.

Players from 11 different clubs feature in today's line-up. Don't forget to vote for your favourite.

Margate's Henry Newcombe is in goal after keeping a clean sheet in a goalless draw at Bognor Regis, no easy task against the leading scorers in the Bostik Premier.

Barry Fuller scored a sensational 30-yard half-volley in Gillingham's 3-3 draw at Doncaster, starting the game at left-back and finishing on the right.

At left-back we've gone for Dartford new boy Dan Johnson.

Playing his first game since August, the former Bromley man kept dangerman Anthony Cook quiet as Darts beat Dulwich 2-1 to go sixth in National League South.

In central defence, Sittingbourne man-of-the-match Lex Allan salvaged a 1-1 draw against Phoenix Sports with a 90th-minute leveller.

He's partnered by Dover man Connor Essam, a commanding figure in their 1-0 win at Concord in the FA Cup.

He didn't put a foot wrong as Whites kept only their second clean sheet of the season and enjoyed a first win since Andy Hessenthaler returned to the hotseat.

Canterbury midfielder Tom Barton scored twice in the first half as City won 4-2 at Lydd in the Kent Senior Trophy.

Jack Sammoutis has found his shooting boots for Hythe recently, the central midfielder crowning a fine performance with two more goals in their 3-2 win at Three Bridges.

Blair Turgott's wonderful solo goal lit up Maidstone's FA Cup win over Leyton Orient.

Turgott ran all the way from the edge of his own penalty area to open the scoring in the Stones' 2-0 victory.

Completing our midfield is Luke Coulson, who played wide-left in Ebbsfleet's 4-0 FA Cup win over Worthing and scored two near-identical goals from Corey Whitely crosses.

He's been benched for much of the season but will take confidence from his goals.

In attack, Brandon Diau scored a hat-trick as Tunbridge Wells beat AFC Croydon 3-0 in the Kent Senior Trophy.

He's partnered by Alex Read, who grabbed both goals as Bostik Premier leaders Tonbridge won a tough game 2-0 at AFC Hornchurch.

Read leads the scoring chart for Angels and is proving quite a signing following his summer arrival.

Our manager-of-the-week is Maidstone boss Harry Wheeler after masterminding their cup win over Orient.
