Margate return to Hartsdown Park this Saturday as they welcome Sevenoaks Town, aiming to extend their unbeaten run to four matches in all competitions.
The ‘Gate continued their strong form on Tuesday night, securing a well-earned point away at high-flying Faversham Town. That result followed a spirited 2-1 victory over VCD Athletic last weekend, giving Ben Greenhalgh’s side valuable momentum heading into Saturday’s clash.
Visitors Sevenoaks Town made a promising start to the season but have hit a recent dip in form. A penalty shootout defeat to Bognor Regis Town in the Isuzu FA Trophy and a 4-1 home loss to Merstham in midweek has set them back slightly.
The two sides produced entertaining encounters last season. Sevenoaks claimed a narrow 2-1 win at Hartsdown, with Jordon Ababio scoring a late consolation for the ‘Gate in the 96th minute. The reverse fixture saw the teams share the spoils in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Team News
There’s positive news on the injury front for Margate. Louie Atkins and Sam Blackman are back in contention and could be involved on Saturday. However, the fixture may come too soon for Emmanuel Oke, Kai Garande, and Kieron Agbebi, who continue their recovery.
