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

Congratulations to Sittingbourne defender Samuel Okoye-Ahanku, who won last week's poll with 22 per cent of the vote after his man-of-the-match display against in-form VCD.

Between the sticks is young Welling goalkeeper Jack Sims who has been an inspired signing by new Wings boss Peter Taylor. Sims kept another clean sheet in Welling's 1-0 National League South derby win over Tonbridge on Saturday.

In defence, we've gone for Gillingham youngster Bailey Akehurst after his excellent Football League debut in the 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday.

There's a place for George Crimmen after Hythe's new signing helped the Cannons keep a clean sheet in a 1-0 victory at high-flying Haywards Heath in Isthmian South East as both sides finished with 10 men.

Taylor Fisher's late strike might have taken a slight deflection to find the back of the net in their 1-1 draw with Three Bridges but it was still enough for the full-back to find his way into our side.

There's no shortage of quality in midfield with Ashford's Josh Wisson among the goals during their 2-0 victory at basement boys Phoenix Sports in Isthmian South East.

He's been out of the Ebbsfleet side in recent weeks but Alfie Egan underlined the strength in depth at Stonebridge Road as he impressed and got on the scoresheet in their excellent 4-3 win at Hungerford in National League South.

Two goals in the first 10 minutes put free-scoring Chatham on the way to a derby rout of Lordswood at Maidstone Road - skipper Jack Evans scoring the first two goals, including a brilliant strike to make it 2-0.

Scott Porter got off the mark as Hollands & Blair boss with a 2-1 win at Deal in Southern Counties East, Samuel Itauma was on target.

Ashley Miller bagged both goals for Ramsgate in their 2-1 success at Lancing.

Adam Coombes is no stranger to team of the week and he's back again after an important double handed Danny Kedwell's Cray Wanderers a key FA Trophy win over Bedfont.

Malachi Hudson scored a hat-trick for Sheppey to help them to a 4-0 victory against Erith & Belvedere.

Hythe manager Steve Watt is our top boss this week after he guided his much-changed Hythe side to an excellent win at Haywards Heath in Isthmian South East.
