and live on Freeview channel 276
Devon Fender nabbed a late winner for the Golds after a Scott Faber penalty and a Lucas Pattenden goal had dragged them back from being 1-0 and 2-1 down.
It ended a run of four straight Isthmian south east defeats for Hand and George Gaskin’s team.
Hand said: “We’re delighted with the win.

"The aim from day one has always been to survive and sustain and Saturday was a huge step towards that target. I said to the boys that big games call for big players and our big players stepped up.
"Dion Jarvis was brilliant, so was Devon, but Lucas Pattenden was unplayable and dragged us to the win.
"It’s also no suprise that Bins (James Binfield) comes back into the side and we get three points.
