Ramsgate won this enthralling game to keep up their promotion bid with an 80^th minute winner.

The game started well for Faversham as in the 4^th minute a ball over the top saw Harry Harding chasing it down but was fouled in the area by Callum Emptage to concede a penalty although a lot of the supporters thought it was a soft call by the referee, up stepped Harding & he hit it in the top right hand corner.

It did not take Ramsgate long to equaliser as in the 11^th minute Oliver Bate on the right crossed into the near post where Callum Peck was & his side foot volley from 6 yards hit the back of the net.

In the very next minute Faversham thought they had taken the lead when a Lewis Chambers Long throw into the area was cleared but back to Chambers who knocked it into the area & after it pinged around the area Harding stabbed home but was offside.

Ramsgate then came back & in the very next minute Bate 20 yards out saw his shot go just past the post. In the 19^th minute Faversham again took the lead when another Chambers long throw into the area was headed by Harding from 8 yards.

Ramsgate were shaken by this as they had looked the dominant side in this half but in the 33^rd minute they equalised again when Joshua Ajayi on the left wing cut inside & his shot was saved by Pat Ohman’s legs & half cleared to Peck & he stabbed home from close range.

Half time arrived & both managers would have been pleased & worried by the first 45 minutes as it showed that both defences were poor & every half chance that occurred could have been a goal for either side.

The second half was a lot tighter affair as both defences tighten up, Faversham were the best team for most of the half & they had a couple of half chances, firstly in the 65^th minute a Harding Corner to the back post found Matt Bourne but from 5 yards he headed wide.

A couple of minutes later Tyrell Richardson-Brown collected a clearance & from 20 yards his curling effort went just past the post.

It took Ramsgate 25 minutes to get a half chance in this half & a free kick into the area was half cleared to Ajayi but from 15 yards he blazed his shot over the bar.

As time was ticking away & it looked like both teams would have to take a point from this game but then in the 80^th minute Ramsgate took the lead for the first time when Lee Prescott 25 yards out tried his luck & his shot was parried away by Ohman but straight to Denzelle Olopade & from 8 yards he shot home.

The final whistle went & Ramsgate went home the happiest & kept the pressure up on the top two in the division.
