There may only be just over 8 miles between Salters Lane and The Belmont, but the gulf in class between the two sides was evident as Faversham ran out 2-1 winners over Whitstable in the A299 derby, in a match that ended closer than the hosts would have liked.
The honours were shared on a wild, windy afternoon, as neither Faversham nor Worthing could make the telling contribution that would have taken the three points.
On the evidence of this match both Herne Bay and Faversham Town should be pushing for a play-off spot come season’s end.
