Margate beat Staines for the second time in a week as they ran out 2-0 winners at Hartsdown Park thanks to goals from Jordan Chiedozie and Jack Evans.

The Blues were without David Martin who was suspended but controlled from start to finish as the visitors failed to register one shot on target.

The ‘Gate went frustratingly close on two occasions in the first half as Kane Haysman saw two headers drop agonizingly wide of the post.

Despite the frustrating opening 45 minutes the ‘Gate raced out the blocks in the second half and took the lead in the 59th minute as Chiedozie slid home the opener after some fine play from Haysman down the left.

The lead was doubled in the 76th minute as Evans drilled home a low shot to send the Gate faithful home happy for just the second time this season in the League.

Margate’s lead was almost extended further as Chiedozie who had already netted his 10th goal of the season hit a fierce effort which scraped the post as he looked to add a glossy look to the score line.
