It’s Aveley who are hot on their heels at the top after this win bilt on their 2-0 home success at home to Eastbourne Borough last Monday.

Aveley also led 2-0 at Woodside Road before Juan Luque got one back, set up by Ollie Pearce, and the Rebels had late shouts for a penalty waved away when Ricky Aguiar appeared to be fouled by the keeper in stoppage time.
