Southern Counties East side Glebe say "an alleged extreme racist comment" was the reason for their game against Chatham Town being abandoned.

The match on Saturday was called off at half-time and is the second game in as many weeks where a non-league game in Kent has been halted because of a reported racist comment.

Glebe released a brief statement on social media following the match, which was played at Chatham's Maidstone Road ground.

Writing on their twitter account, chairman Rocky McMillan said on Saturday: "Just to confirm there was an alleged extreme racist comment made towards a member of my first team management in our SCEFL match this afternoon.

"We will be passing our evidence to the authorities. There will be no further comment until the case is heard."

Glebe manager Gary Alexander tweeted: "One day hopefully we will live in a world were everyone respects everyone no matter what one day I hope."

Chatham have since issued their own statement, which can be read here . The matter will be dealt with by the Kent FA.

The Medway side were leading 2-1 at the time, with goals from Jack Evans and Dan Bradshaw. Connor Pring has struck for the visitors.

Sevenoaks Town's FA Cup match with Hounslow United was stopped at the break last weekend after an alleged comment. Town were leading 3-0 at the time and an investigation was made.

They have since had their place in the next round confirmed after being cleared of any wrongdoing by the Football Association.

An FA statement said: "The matter was investigated by the FA, including a review of match reports, observations, statements and match footage, and we can now confirm that Sevenoaks Town will not be subject to any FA disciplinary action.

"We have established that the club and the matchday officials took the appropriate steps, as per the required protocol, when informed of the alleged abuse. However, we will continue to work with the clubs to establish if there is any additional evidence in relation to the alleged incident.

"The FA takes all allegations of discrimination extremely seriously and we would like to thank both teams for bringing this to our attention, and for their full cooperation throughout."
