It might not have been a busy afternoon for Bobby Mason but his impressive late save ensured Sittingbourne a FA Cup replay with Jersey Bulls as their Extra Preliminary Round tie ended goalless at Woodstock.

In defence, there was a superb first league outing for Shad Ogie in a Gillingham shirt. He made plenty of tackles and blocks to keep much-fancied Stockport at bay during the visitors’ 1-0 win.

Jet-setting Reiss Greenidge gets the nod above team-mate George Fowler after scoring the winner for Maidstone over 10-man Slough at the Gallagher. Greenidge played for Guyana just two days earlier in a friendly in the USA but battled through the jetlag to help his team to three points.

Tom Carlse impressed in defence and going forward for Ashford United as Kevin Watson’s first game in charge saw them win 3-0 at Hollands & Blair in the FA Cup.

Dover’s Roman Charles-Cook is normally a full-back but he played out of position in right midfield and scored an equaliser on his debut to earn his new side a 2-2 draw against Torquay in their National League South opener.

Deal progressed in the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Guildford, despite losing Alfie Foster to a second-half red card. Billy Munday gets our nod after scoring the opener in an excellent performance.

Josh Wright was playing below his ability in National League South last season and that might be the case again for the Ebbsfleet midfielder this term. He took the captain’s armband in the absence of Chris Solly and led by example with a polished display as the Fleet won 1-0 at Rochdale in their televised National League opener.

Another player to be given the captain’s armband and rose to the challenge was Dartford’s Luke Coulson. The former Bromley and Ebbsfleet man struck a double against Bath, although the Darts ended up dropping two points after conceding a late equaliser.

Our attack is made up of FA Cup goalscorers. Daniel Bennett bagged a brace for Sevenoaks Town in their 3-1 success at Lingfield on Sunday.

Summer signing Steadman Callender got off the mark for Whitstable Town in style with a hat-trick in their 5-0 victory over Haywards Heath.

Completing our XI is Josh Ajayi, who hit a first-half brace as Southern Counties East champions Erith & Belvedere started their season in style, winning 6-0 at Littlehampton.
