Our major teams got their season under way on Saturday which can only mean one thing - it's time for our first KentOnline team of the week.

We've put together our top starting XI from the opening day of the season.

After goals in the 3-1 win at Southend, Gillingham's scoring trio of Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Max Ehmer and Emmanuel Osadabe make the cut - along with debutant left-back Paul Konchesky.

Another summer signing, Dover goalkeeper Steve Arnold, makes our team after a clean sheet in his first Whites outing at Wrexham, along with consistent right-back Sam Magri.

Margate match-winner Alex Osborn takes his place in our midfield alongside Bobby-Joe Taylor, who scored Maidstone's first goal in the National League as they drew 1-1 with York City.

Stones defender Kevin Lokko nudged out team-mate Anthony Acheampong in defence while Ebbsfleet duo Jack Powell and Danny Kedwell were both on the scoresheet against Poole Town in their opening-day victory.
