There was an eight-goal thriller at Honey Lane as Bearsted let slip a two-goal advantage to lose 5-3 against Peacehaven.

A missed penalty late on ended hopes of Bearsted coming back into the tie.

“Another great experience and memories that will be remembered. Thank you to everyone that came out to show their support!”

Ben Cardwell was the hat-trick hero for Deal Town as they put in a fantastic performance to come away from Knaphill 4-0 winners.

Luke Eldridge broke the deadlock on 58 minutes before Cardwell got the first of his three shortly after. He completed his treble late on to seal the win for Derek Hares’ team.
