Brad Lethbridge’s goal [72′] saw the hosts on their way before a brace from Dan Smith [76′ & pen 82′] completed the day’s work to maintain Town’s unbeaten start to the season. By contrast, Stortford are looking for their first triumph this term.
Brightlingsea Regent 0 – 3 Margate | North Road | Att: 206

Leatherhead 2 – 1 Haringey Borough | Fetchams Grove | Att: 335

Tonbridge Angels 1 – 0 Burgess Hill Town | Longmead | Att: 409
Tonbridge recorded a narrow win over over the Hillians at Longmead. Joe Turner grabbed the only goal on 26 minutes as Steve Mckimm’s team remain unbeaten. Burgess Hill will need to get that first win on the board soon.
