Vote for your star man in KentOnline’s team-of-the-week.

Tom Fitzgerald won last week’s poll, taking 44% of the vote following his man-of-the-match performance in Chatham’s Kent Senior Trophy final win.

Two rounds of games over Easter gave us plenty to think about, so have a look at our latest XI and pick your favourite at the bottom of the page.

George Kamurasi is our goalkeeper after making several good saves in Hythe’s 0-0 draw at Kent rivals Whitstable in Bostik South East.

Lordswood defender Joe Kane scored two more goals over the long weekend, taking his tally for the season to 12.

The club’s top scorer grabbed the winner at Tunbridge Wells on Saturday and found the net again in a 2-1 defeat by Canterbury on Easter Monday.

Former Chatham and Tunbridge Wells defender Brad Potter struck twice as FA Vase finalists Cray Valley went top of Southern Counties East with a 5-0 win over Croydon.

Sittingbourne defender Lex Allan was a tower of strength in a 1-1 draw at Herne Bay and completes our backline.

What a day for Tom Murphy who scored twice at the death as Dartford came from a goal down to beat Billericay 2-1 and take their National South play-off bid to the final day of the season.

Craig Stone is better known for his defensive qualities but he scored the goal against Carshalton that clinched Tonbridge’s place in the Bostik Premier play-offs.

Some thought he was finished at Longmead when he went on loan to Grays in March but that was never the case.

Attacking midfielder Rory Smith popped up with a lovely solo effort as Ramsgate won 3-1 at Kent rivals Faversham.

Left-winger Anthony Jeffrey was man-of-the-match by a distance as Dover won 1-0 at Ebbsfleet, offering pace and quality crosses.

It was a good weekend for Gillingham forward Brandon Hanlan who scored in the 3-1 comeback win over Plymouth and again in a 1-1 draw at Bradford as Steve Lovell’s side extinguished any relegation fears.

Johan ter Horst is leading Folkestone’s Bostik Premier play-off charge, scoring in 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Haringey respectively.

Frankie Sawyer is another man bang in form.

The Sevenoaks forward scored his 21st goal of the season and made the other in a 2-1 win over Herne Bay and followed up with a double as Micky Collins’ men beat Bostik South East champions Cray 4-3 in an Easter Monday cracker.

Our manager-of-the-week is Steve McKimm after leading Tonbridge into the play-offs.

Four points from matches against promotion rivals Worthing and Carshalton represents an excellent return over Easter as Angels confirmed a well-deserved top-five finish.
