Vanarama National League South

Margate 2 v 1 East Thurrock United

BEFORE this game, Rock’s boss John Coventry did say that it could all be about which Margate turned up.

Unfortunately for Covo, the one that got three points turned up on Tuesday night.

On 35 minutes, Margate`s new loan signing from Maidstone United, Vas Karagiannis, sent in a cross and Ryan Sammons could only head past visiting `keeper Lukas Lidakevicius under pressure.

Michael Clarke equalised just past the hour-mark when he bundled a ball in at the far post.

But the Rocks were only level for 11 minutes as Daniel Akindayini smashed the ball home to put the hosts ahead.
