Faversham moved up to fourth place in the table with this emphatic victory over Peacehaven who until today had not lost away from home.

It was nearly a different sorry when in the 1^st minute a long ball forward found Tom Lawley & ran into the area but shot wide under pressure.

As both sides looked at each other nothing much was happening Aaron Lacey passed to Luke Harvey’s feet & he turned the defender & his stabbed shot was easily saved from 8 yards.

In the 21^st minute Dave Botterill cross to the far post was cleared for a corner by Ash Jones & from the resulting Wayne Wilson corner into the penalty area a deflected header came back of the post.

Three minutes later another glorious chance came when Harvey was put through in the area & his shot was saved by Antony Dibernardo’s legs & it came out for Harvey who passed out wide to Darren Marsden but his cross shot went past the post.

In the 26^th minute Lawley on the left crossed low for Jamie Brotherton & his shot was saved by Simon Overland.

For the rest of the half Faversham created chance after chance as in 35^th minute a free kick flicked on went to Harvey whose flicked shot was saved by Dibernardo, then 2 minutes later Overland launched a kick up field for Harvey who controlled it & shot but was easily saved.

In the 42^nd minute again Harvey had the chance to open his & Faversham’s account but his flicked shot was saved by the keeper. Faversham finally took the lead when Harvey on the edge of the area beat 2 defenders got to the by-line & his low cross was diverted into his own goal by Ash Jones.

Again Peacehaven came out of the blocks the quickest when in the 46^th minute Lawley on the edge of the area passed to Brotherton whose shot was tipped over the bar for a corner by Overland & from the resulting corner saw the ball ricochet around the area before being cleared, Faversham definitely needed another goal to help with the nerves & in the 58^th minute Marsden received the ball 25 yards out & turned & shot but it went wide.

In the 67^th minute Peacehaven nearly equalised when a Brotherton free kick from 25 yards out beat the wall & bounced awkwardly for Overland who was able to push over the bar.

Faversham were now bossing the game & in the 69^th minute a long throw from Lacey into the area saw Harvey leap up but headed wide.

In the 72^nd minute Faversham increased their lead when a Wilson corner to the back post found Jamie Maxted who from 3 yards headed into the empty net.

They finished Peacehaven off in the 77^th minute when Marsden won the ball in midfield ran forward & into the area where he shot but Dibernalgo came out & saved it but it came out to Renford Tenyue who from 10 yards shot in via the post.
