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

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

Tunbridge Wells striker Brandon Diau was the clear winner of last week's poll.

He finished with 46% of the vote after his hat-trick against AFC Croydon. There were 1,261 votes cast.

Have a look at this week's XI and vote for your favourite at the bottom of the page.

Goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore is one of three Ebbsfleet players in the side after their 1-1 draw at National League high-fliers Salford City.

Not only was Ashmore at his best between the sticks, he used every trick in the book to slow down the game and frustrate the home crowd - exactly what was required.

Fleet team-mate and new dad Sam Magri takes the right-back slot. He'd only trained once all week, and can't have had much sleep after Monday's arrival, but put in a fine display against Salford's expensively assembled front line.

Tonbridge captain Tom Parkinson, a midfielder by trade, dropped into central defence following the early dismissal of Sonny Miles.

He did the business in the back four as Angels beat Whyteleafe 2-1 in the FA Trophy.

Richard Avery is alongside him after Chatham's 1-0 win over Tunbridge Wells in Southern Counties East.

Chats normally score plenty of goals but showed the importance of keeping them out in their narrow win over Wells.

Alfie Paxman joined Folkestone as a forward but is showing he can play full-back, too. He set up Invicta's third goal in a 5-1 FA Trophy win over Leatherhead.

Our third Fleet player is midfielder Jack Payne, who produced his best display for the club in the draw at Salford.

Darren Oldaker made the most of a surprise start with his performance in Gillingham's 4-0 win over League 1 bottom side Bradford City.

Tonbridge winger Joe Turner completes our midfield after holding his nerve to score a last-minute penalty winner against Whyteleafe.

It's doubles all round up front.

Sam Wilson scored twice in the last 10 minutes as Deal Town salvaged a 2-2 draw with leaders Beckenham in Southern Counties East.

Johan ter Horst rediscovered his touch with a couple of early goals in Folkestone's win.

And Gills leading scorer Tom Eaves took his tally to nine with his two-goal show against the Bantams, the big Scouser once again showing how important he is for Steve Lovell's side.

Ebbsfleet boss Daryl McMahon pips Lovell to the manager-of-the-week award.

It's been a testing time for McMahon after Fleet's financial issues were revealed but he's kept his players' heads up and the character in the side was clear at Salford.
