Leaders Ramsgate extended their lead at the top of Isthmian South East to five points on Saturday.

Steve Lovell's Rams won 3-1 at third-placed Whitehawk thanks to another Kane Rowland double and Ashley Miller's 11th goal of the season.

Second-placed Chatham went down 3-1 at Cray Valley, who are up to fourth.

The Millers made it three wins out of three under new boss Tommy Osborne since manager Kevin Watson's departure thanks to a Denzel Gayle brace and Adam Coombes' penalty.

Ashford missed out on the chance to go second after being held to a 1-1 draw by Chichester. The Nuts & Bolts led through an own goal but Connor Cody's second-half equaliser pegged them back.

Beckenham are up to sixth after second-half goals from Nick Curran and Louie Theophanous ensured a 2-0 win at East Grinstead.

Sammy Moore's first game in charge ended in a draw as the bottom two drew 1-1 at Salters Lane.

The point did little for Faversham, who remain bottom, or visitors Corinthian, who had led thanks to Sam Bewick's 30th-minute goal against his old club.

New signing Jacques Kpohomouh scored on the hour for Faversham but they were unable to find a winner despite Corinthian playing the final 20 minutes with 10 men following a red card for Harvey Smith.

Hythe picked up a point after a goalless draw at home to VCD while Sheppey had Tom Hanfrey's 90th-minute winner to thank for a 2-1 success at Lancing. Kane Louis had put the hosts ahead before Warren Mfula equalised for the Ites.

Sittingbourne went down 2-1 at Burgess Hill, despite Mario Quiassaca's second-half goal, while Sevenoaks are back in the top half following a 3-1 win over Haywards Heath. Fumnaya Shomotun scored twice with Freddie Parker also netting.

A stoppage-time Dan Johnson goal rescued a point for Herne Bay in the Isthmian Premier at home to fellow strugglers Wingate & Finchley.

Bay remain seven points adrift of safety after Johnson cancelled out Elliot Long's goal seven minutes after the break at Winch's Field.

Neil Smith's Cray Wanderers are up to eighth place after Sam Wood's goal proved decisive in a 1-0 win at Kingstonian.

Folkestone suffered a fifth straight away defeat in the league, going down 3-0 at Canvey as Bradley Sach netted a hat-trick.

Margate were held to a goalless draw at home by Billericay on Friday night.
