Last season’s top scorer Joe Taylor grabbed two fine first half goals and had another ruled out by unimpressive referee Jack Owen as Folkestone could have been out of sight at the break but eventually reached the third round of the Kent Reliance on penalties at an increasingly more damp Fullicks Stadium on Tuesday.
A goal in each half at the Fullicks Stadium gave below full strength Folkestone an unexpectedly comfortable win over a Staines side who had started the day four places higher in the Bostik Premier Division table.
Strikers Ade Yusuff and Ian Draycott will both have fitness tests but are expected to make the starting line-up for Invicta who entertain Staines Town at the Fullicks Stadium tomorrow.
