|
|
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)
|
|
Margate won a league match for the first time under new boss Mark Butler when Lloyd Blackman’s late penalty sealed the points for the Blues by the odd goal in seven. Gate’s win takes them up to 15th in the table. |

|
|
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)
|

MFC 2, Kingstonian 1 (RPL)
|
Margate won their fourth game of the season with a hard fought, narrow but ultimately deserved victory over a Kingstonian side that had gone five league games without defeat, winning four of them.

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.

MFC 1, Horsham 3 (RPL)
|

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.

|
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)
