MFC 0, Maidstone United 1 (RPL)
|
Margate – back at Hartsdown Park for just the third time since the beginning of October – succumbed to former striker Danny Hockton’s second half strike, and so failed in their bid for a fourth successive unbeaten league game for the first time since November 10th 2007.

|
|
Bognor Regis Town 3, MFC 3 (RPL)
|
Margate will wonder if this result represented two points lost or a point won as the Blues firstly took the lead, conceded three second-half goals before scoring twice more – the equaliser coming deep into added time.

Waltham Abbey 3, MFC 4 (RPL)

|
|
Wealdstone 3, MFC 1 (FAT)
|
|
On a chilly, grey afternoon at Grosvenor Vale Margate battled well against a skilful Wealdstone side. Indeed if a first half chance had been taken the result could have been very different, writes Alan Anstice. |
|
|
Canvey Island 2, MFC 0 (RPL)
|
Margate succumbed to two first half goals from a free kick and a penalty as the home side cemented their place in the play off places with their sixth win of the campaign.

|
MFC 2, Kingstonian 1 (RPL)

|
MFC 0, AFC Hornchurch 0 (RPL)
|
Margate drew a blank against AFC Hornchurch at this afternoon’s re-arranged Ryman League Premier Division clash. The Blues were rarely troubled at the back, had a penalty come back off the bar and a goal disallowed in a game that only occasionally burst into life.

Hendon 1, MFC 2 (RPL)
|
A much improved Margate performance saw the Blues deservedly take all three points in an incident packed clash at Vale Park.

|
MFC 1, Horsham 3 (RPL)

Margate failed to recover form their mid-week extra time defeat in the FA Cup at Sutton and went down to Horsham with a disappointing home performance at Hartsdown Park this afternoon.

Sutton United 3, MFC 2 aet (FAC)
|
|
Margate were ultimately undone deep into extra time of this FA Cup First Qualifying Round replay. But the way that Sutton go through will leave a nasty taste in the mouths of the Margate fans given the controversy surrounding the U’s second goal. |
|
|
MFC 2, Sutton United 2 (FAC)
|
Margate lost a two goal first half lead as Sutton United recovered with goals deep into first half added time and in the final minute of second half normal time. So while Gate will still be in the hat for Monday’s FA Cup draw, they will need to win Tuesday evening’s replay at Gander Green lane to take their place in the next round on 26th September.

Ashford Town (Mx) 2, MFC 2 (RPL)
|
|
Margate surrendered a two-goal lead at Short Lane this afternoon, and will feel disappointed not to have taken all three points against an Ashford side who finished with ten men, writes Chris1 |
|
|

|
Margate’s season continued in disappointing fashion at Hartsdown Park today as Kent rivals Cray Wanderers inflicted Gate’s fourth defeat of the season.

Harrow Borough 3, MFC 0 (RPL)
|
|
Margate’s roller-coaster start to the season continued with a 3-0 reverse at Earlsmead this afternoon. Despite dominating the game for long periods in the second half, the Blues were unable to atone for their lacklustre showing in the first period, writes Chris1. |
|
|
Aveley 0, MFC 3 (RPL)
|
Gate made it two wins on the spin with a comprehensive victory over newly promoted Aveley this evening.

MFC 2, Boreham Wood 1 (RPL)
|
With their first win of the season, Margate leapt seven places up the Ryman League Premier Division table, which should provide a welcome confidence boost to Terry Yorath’s men.
