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

Congratulations to Sittingbourne midfielder Ahmed Abdulla, who won last week’s poll with 46 per cent of the vote after his debut hat-trick against Lancing.

Have a look at our latest XI after a busy Saturday of league and FA Cup action and pick your favourite at the bottom of the page.

Ramsgate keeper Jacob Russell made a game-changing penalty save in their preliminary round tie at Hollands & Blair.

Rams were trailing their Southern Counties East opponents 1-0 when Russell denied Harry Goodger from the spot and the Isthmian South East side went on to win 2-1.

Margate are yet to concede in two Isthmian Premier games this season and a big reason for that is the impact Lewis Knight has made in central defence.

He looked the part once again in Gate’s goalless draw with Carshalton at Hartsdown Park.

Be it winning headers, tackles or making blocks, Joe Ellul was exceptional in Maidstone’s 2-1 win at Chelmsford on his first appearance of the season.

Folkestone had to roll up their sleeves to maintain their 100 per cent start in the Isthmian Premier, with captain Callum Davies leading by example in their battling 1-0 victory at Corinthian Casuals.

A superb free-kick was the pick of Harry Stannard’s goals as the Whitstable man scored a hat-trick in their 5-0 FA Cup win over Alfold at the Belmont.

Dartford midfielder Noor Husin capped an excellent performance by scoring his side’s second goal in a 3-0 win over Slough as Steve King’s side made it two wins out of two in National League South.

Goalscoring midfielder Oscar Housego struck twice, including an equaliser, as Corinthian came from a goal down to beat Badshot Lea 4-2 in the FA Cup.

And what a day for winger James Haylock-Ashdown whose double in a 2-0 win over Little Common sent Kennington through to the FA Cup first qualifying round for the first time in their history.

Up top, Jeff Duah-Kessie was one of two players to score hat-tricks as Phoenix Sports beat Punjab 7-0 in the FA Cup.

Johan Caney-Bryan scored twice in four minutes, midway through the second half, to earn 10-man Sittingbourne a replay after trailing Littlehampton 2-0.

Our top boss is Danny Kedwell after Cray Wanderers came from a goal down to win 2-1 at FA Trophy winners Hornchurch in the Isthmian Premier.
