Strange wording regarding positivity. From all the comments and post match interviews I have come across, Ira Jackson came across as a very positive person. Things might not have worked out but I don’t think you can doubt his positivity.

Hythe Town: 'With his valuable experience, he will bring positivity back into the Club. Darren knows how to win as he was part of the winning Ramsgate side who won the Isthmian League last season.'

Hythe Town Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Darren Beale as their new manager. Darren understands the philosophy of the club and is keen to work with the club's project.

'Treat your clubs with respect Kent FA.' Very true statement. As you suggest you doubt Kent FA would come on your podcast but why not give them the opportunity to explain why they made the decison. If they refuse, publicise it.

Stansfeld avenged their loss to Halls AFC last month in the Kent Senior Trophy. This was their second clean sheet of the season. They will be at home to Phoenix Sports in the next round.

Kennington’s loss to Faversham Strike Force sees their 100% home record in the league end. FSF have now completed the double over Kennington, having won the reverse fixture 4-0 in August. Harry Taylor scored a brace in that game. He has now scored in five straight games.

Bearsted conceded four goals in a game for the first time this season. They have now lost three matches in a row for the first time this season, two in the league, and are now 5th. Possibly the Manager of the Month curse?

This was the third time Whitstable have scored four or more goals in a league game, all three coming within their last four league matches. They have now won their last six league games and are four points clear at the top of the table, with games in hand on their closest rivals.

Whitstable Town squandered a two goal lead in their Challenge Cup defeat at home to Bearsted two weeks ago. On Tuesday they were two up before Bearsted scored twice; they didn’t make the same mistake this time around.
