Cray Wanderers slipped to a 4-2 defeat at Canvey Island in Ryman League Premier Division.

Midfielder Aaron Day was forced to play the entire 90 minutes in goal after an injury to keeper Dave King in the warm-up.

The hosts took the lead short before the break and scrambled a second on 57 minutes before matters got worse when Danny Phillips saw red for a second booking.

Canvey made it 3-0 with 20 minutes left but Mark Willy replied soon after and Ally McLeod made it 3-2 late-on, only for the hosts to add a fourth in stoppage time as Cray slipped to fifth.

In Division 1 South Faversham Town held leaders Leatherhead to a goalless draw at the Shepherd Neame Stadium.

Keeper Simon Overland was the Town hero, saving a last-gasp penalty to deny the visitors the points, though Town slipped down one place to 10th.

Sittingbourne suffered a 1-0 defeat in their big game against Burgess Hill Town at Bourne Park, staying sixth but losing ground on the leading pack in the process.

The only goal arrived on 56 minutes and Richard Brady spurned Bourne's best chance of a leveller, blasting over from inside the six yard box.

Chatham Town recorded a goalless draw at Walton & Hersham, Ray Powell (pictured) blasting the Chats' best chance wide in the first half as the Chats moved up a place to 13th.

Ramsgate stayed 19th despite drawing 2-2 against Fleet Town at Southwood.

After a goalless first half the visitors took the lead on 51 minutes only for Paul Axon to thunder in a volley three minutes later which was adjudged to have crossed the line having hit the underside of the bar before bouncing out.

Fleet were back in front 18 minutes from time but the Rams piled on the pressure late on and Tom Tsangarides had seen an effort cleared off the line before Mark Lovell converted a last-minute penalty after the referee spotted a handball.

Rams defender Ollie Gray saw red in injury time after collecting a second booking.
