Sittingbourne progressed to the First Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy after a dramatic extra-time win at Northwood on Tuesday night.

After snatching a replay with a stoppage-time equaliser in their initial Preliminary Round tie at Bourne Park on Saturday, Bourne booked a trip to Evo Stik Southern League Central side Uxbridge on October 22 with an Elie Kayembe strike two minutes from the end of extra-time.

Anthony Hogg's 25-yard free-kick and a Joe Goldmsith penalty had put the Brickies 2-0 ahead before the hosts saw a man sent-off, but still came back to level at 2-2 before full-time.

Luke Girt restored Bourne's lead in the extra-period but the dogged hosts drew level again before Kayembe struck to avoid penalties.

Adrian Stone (pictured) fired a hat-trick as Faversham Town joined them in the first qualifying round with an equally-dramatic 5-3 win over Walton Casuals at the Shepherd Neame Stadium.

The Lilywhites trailed 2-0 and 3-1 - with Stone putting the hosts on the score-sheet - but managed to pull back to 3-3 before 90 minutes were up thanks to goals from Justin Ascheri and then Aaron Quain in the final minute.

Stone then put Faversham 4-3 ahead with a goal just 13 seconds into extra-time, and he completed his treble after the visitors saw a man sent-off, to book a trip to Waltham Forest in the next round.

The game was delayed by 15 minutes after a muscle injury to a linesman, who had to be replaced by a member of the crowd.

In Ryman League Division 1 South, Ramsgate went down 4-1 at home to title-chasing side Bognor Regis Town on Tuesday night.

Following Saturday's 7-2 FA Trophy drubbing the Rams have now conceded 11 goals at Southwood in four days.

After a goalless first-half, the visitors opened up a 4-0 lead lead in the second half before a consolation arrived via a fine solo goal from substitute Pascal Ebigbo.

Ten-man Hythe Town put up a brave fight before going down 1-0 at unbeaten leaders Dulwich Hamlet.

Jimmy Dryden was sent-off for the visitors, who conceded the only goal a little over 20 minutes from time to Sanchez Ming, as Hamlet made it eight wins from 10.
