Joe Taylor’s 77th-minute penalty earned
Sittingbourne the derby spoils as they beat Kent

play-offs, after Ben Laslett scored 10 minutes from time to clinch
a 1-0 win away to Eastbourne Town.
Meanwhile, Herne Bay crashed to a fourth

Elsewhere in the division, Cray Wanderers
conceded nine goals for the first time since 1966 as their
miserable run of form continued.
