Kent Senior Cup final: Folkestone 2 Dartford 6

Dartford scored four times in the last 13 minutes to pull clear of Folkestone and retain the Kent Senior Cup.

Folkestone had the best of the first half at Chatham’s Maidstone Road ground and deservedly led at half-time through Ade Yusuff.

Luke Allan levelled for Dartford, who then went in front for the first time courtesy of academy right-back Ali Mansaray.

Prolific Invicta striker David Smith made it 2-2 only for Darts to flex their muscles in the closing stages, with Connor Essam restoring the lead and man-of-the-match Ade Azeez scoring twice before Danny Leonard made it six.
