George Bentley filled in for the unavailable Jonny Henly, as the former Faversham goalkeeper made his Tonbridge Angels debut. And he kept a clean sheet in their 1-0 victory at Bath in National League South.

That’s just one defeat in nine now for Jay Saunders’ side who are in good form.

The defenders got both the goals for revitalised Gillingham as they earned a 2-1 comeback League 2 triumph over AFC Wimbledon.

Centre-half Max Ehmer got Neil Harris’ troops level at Priestfield but we’ve opted for Cheye Alexander who bagged the winner against his former team in front of a crowd of 7,453 - his first goal in more than three years.

There were plenty of fine displays from Margate’s backline in their goalless draw at promotion-chasing Isthmian Premier side Enfield and we’ve gone for Peter Ojemen who produced some heroic defending in the stalemate.

It was a day to remember for Deal defender Jack Penny. Quite incredibly, he struck twice directly from corners in their 2-0 Southern Counties East Premier Division win over Bearsted.

Maidstone’s wait for an overdue National League win goes on but they did at least pick up a point from their 1-1 draw at home to Gateshead thanks to Josh Shonibare, who scored his first goal for the club. He showed good pace to get up and down the wing well for George Elokobi’s men.

Youngster Freddie Oliver put in a confident display on his National League South debut as Whites won 1-0 at Taunton. That extended Dover’s unbeaten run to four matches under boss Mitch Brundle.

On-loan Dartford midfielder Cameron Brodie bagged a brace for Ashford in their 3-2 Isthmian South East success over Littlehampton.

Ronnie Dolan was the unlikely hat-trick hero for Folkestone as they claimed a 5-0 Isthmian Premier at Potters Bar. Those were, in fact, Dolan’s first three competitive strikes of the season!

Greg Cundle also makes the side after he netted the only goal of the game in runaway National League South leaders Ebbsfleet’s triumph at Chelmsford.

Both our forwards play in the Southern Counties East Premier Division.

A Jamie Humphris hat-trick helped Erith Town complete a 3-2 comeback victory over Welling Town.

Another among the goals was highly experienced marksman Paul Vines for Punjab United. He scored the only goal as they inflicted just a second league loss of the season on runaway leaders Erith & Belvedere.

Our top boss award this week goes to Folkestone joint-head coach Roland Edge and Micheal Everitt.
