SEASIDERS HIT GULLS FOR SIX

- By Richard Murrill

FOLKESTONE Invicta enjoyed their biggest win of the season so far as they hit five secondhalf goals against an out of sorts Canvey Island.

The home side led 1-0 at half time thanks to a 37th minute Frankie Chappell header after Ronnie Dolan’s free kick.

Joe Taylor made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute when he slotted the ball into the net after being put through by Ian Draycott.

Draycott himself then scored when he headed in a 65thminute Jordan Wright cross.

And it was four in the 70th minute as Miles Cornwell emphatical­ly lifted the ball over the goalkeeper after Dolan’s pass through.

Substitute Carl Rook added to the home side’s tally with a sublime 86th-minute chip after Chappell had headed the ball forward.

Cornwell tcompleted the scoring when he smashed the ball into the net in the 89th minute following a Rook intercepti­on.

Earlier, Invicta goalkeeper Tim Roberts had made several good saves to keep the visitors at bay – including one in the sixth minute to deny striker Martin Tuohy.

Roberts made a good 24thminute save to keep out a George Sykes shot, and had denied Omar Lawson just before half-time.

The victory was an important one for the Seasiders who moved even further away from the relegation zone.
