The above photo of the Margate fans in Smurf fancy dress at the game on Saturday just about sums up Non-League football, two are drinking beers, one is about to eat a burger and they are all enjoying themselves supporting their team.
The Gate's 0-3 victory puts them on an unbeaten run of five games with clean sheets now in four consecutive games so they really are hitting form at the right time of the season to possibly clinch a play-off place.
Ex Tonbridge Angels striker Carl Rook got two goals and also had a penalty saved by Noel Imber with recent signing Kezie Ibe (started his career at Arsenal and AFC Bournemouth, he has since played for a host of non-league clubs) getting the other.
Town's best chance came from Liam Hope (in for the injured Scott McGleish) whose effort was well saved by Margate's player-boss Craig Holloway just prior to half time.
Enfield Town go to ninth placed Kingstonian tonight who have dropped down the league placings after five defeats in a row following the 1-1 draw at Donkey Lane on Saturday 16th February.
Margate's good form will be well tested when they travel to table topper's and title favourites Whitehawk tomorrow evening who won 0-3 at Thurrock on Saturday. The Hawks who now have a nine point gap from Wealdstone (The Stone's have two games in hand) had some new signings in their side on Saturday.
Midfielder's Charlie Henry (from Blue Sqaure Premier Macclesfield Town ex of Cambridge City, Dorchester Town and Luton Town who paid a five figure fee for his services) and Charlie Lossano (from Barclay's Premier League side Reading) have joined along with defender Paul Hinshelwood (from Blue Square South Havant and Waterlooville) to bolster Darren Freeman's sides title chances.
