* DENOTES LEAGUE GAMES ONLY 

With FA Cup and FA Trophy games played and to be played The Pitching In Isthmian South-East table doesn't really show a clear picture if you look at the position where some teams are. 

Beckenham Town are currently top of the table and it's a real turn around for them from last season where they finished in 19th place after a 4th place finish in the 22/23 campaign where they were beaten in the play-off semi-final by Whitehawk. 

Eden Park Avenue should of been hosting Step Five football this season but The Becks were reprieved from relegation due to Cirencester Town and Loughborough Dynamos requesting voluntary relegation along with New Salamis withdrawing from the non-league pyramid. 

Darren Anslow's side have won seven of their nine games played with their only defeat being a 0-2 home defeat to Margate - they also drew 1-1 at AFC Croydon Athletic. 

It's no surprise to see Ramsgate with 100% winning record still - The Rams have finished as runner's up for the last two seasons before losing in the play-off semi-finals against fifth placed Hythe Town (finished 5 points behind them) and Chichester City who finished an amazing 20 points behind them! 

Ben Smith is back in charge of The Rams after leaving the club over the summer to replaced by former Lewes and Cray Wanderers boss Tony Russell who was only in charge for 25 days! 

They are joined by Kent rival's Sheppey United who have won all six of their league games. 

Erith Town and Deal Town, both promoted from Step Five last season, have made amazing starts to their seasons but they are closely followed by Burgess Hill Town, Merstham, Sittingbourne, Margate and Broadbridge Heath who have games in hand. 

Ramsgate and Sittingbourne are the only clubs left in the Isuzu FA Trophy hosting Cray Valley PM and Bognor Regis Town in the Third Qualifying Round. It'll be a renewal of affairs between The Rams and The Millers who fought it out for the title last season - The South London side finished top and are now in sixth place in the Premier Division. 

Margate have a huge Emirates FA Cup Third Qualifying Round Reply tomorrow when they travel to Premier Division side Horsham. The Gate took a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute via Ibrahim Olutade only for Ola Ogunwamide to equalise on 71 minutes for the visitors.
