Sittingbourne came from a goal down to beat Walton Casuals in Ryman League Division 1 South on Saturday.

The hosts fell behind five minutes before half-time when Kristian Webb found the top corner from a 25-yard free-kick.

But their lead lasted just three minutes when Hicham Akhazzan crossed for Jimmy Bottle, who produced a fine left-foot shot to put Gary Abbott's, pictured, side level.

Sittingbourne went ahead with 17 minutes left. Femi Omogbehin charged down the right wing and delivered a perfect cross for Akhazzan to score from six yards.

Nick Reeves then headed over before Sittingbourne scored their third with the best move of the match. A great run by Joe Dowley saw Bottle cross for the unmarked Akhazzan who made no mistake to claim his second of the game.

Sittingbourne are at home to Burgess Hill on Tuesday.
