It remains tight at the bottom of Ryman League Premier Division after four of the bottom five lost.

Fourth-bottom Folkestone Invicta are a point from safety after suffering a last-gasp 1-0 defeat at Carshalton.

Invicta enjoyed long spells of pressure but were denied a point by a header a minute from time.

Maidstone United are a further point behind after going down 4-2 at home to Wealdstone.

Tommy Whitnell cancelled-out an early Wealdstone goal on 21 minutes and Danny Hockton's 40th minute goal drew the Stones level at half-time after the visitors went 2-1 up on 38 minutes.

However two goals in two minutes just after the hour ensured the Londoners returned with the points and Maidstone stay next-to-bottom.

Tonbridge Angels did their part to help the other Kent sides by overcoming Aveley 1-0 at Longmead.

Frannie Collin (pictured) netted the only goal of the game on 13 minutes for his league-leading 16th strike of the campaign.

Angels are now 10 games unbeaten and are up to third, eight points off the top, but with two games in hand.

Two points now separates the bottom five after basement-boys Croydon lost, though fifth-bottom Hastings drew.

Margate stayed 15th but suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Billericay.

Gate controlled long spells and created the majority of the chances but fell to a goal 12 minutes from time.

Cray Wanderers suffered a 2-0 home defeat against title-chasing Sutton United at Hayes Lane.

The Wands are now four points and two places off the play-off places having played more games than the sides around them.
