Folkestone Invicta (H) - 16th September 2023

By Josh Cole

The ‘Gate are back in Emirates FA Cup action as we welcome Folkestone Invicta to HDP for a Kent Derby in the Second Qualifying Round on Saturday afternoon.

Last week we picked up three points against Potters Bar winning 2-1 in front of a 921 supporters at Hartsdown Park for Family Fun Day. Read the match report by clicking here.

Margate have no new injuries ahead of the cup clash with Leo Mazzone still sie-lined.

Cup Journey So Far:

Folkestone were drawn against Hartley Witney away in the First Qualifying Round where they breezed through running away 4-0 winners with goals from Jordan Ababio (x2), Andre Coker and Ira Jackson. The ‘Gate had a tough draw away to Hendon but recorded a 3-2 win with goals from Sam Blackman, Fyn Rutherford and Steve Cawley. Catch up with the highlights from that game by clicking here.

The ’Gate and Invicta have already met this season on bank holiday Monday at the Alcaline Sadium where Folkestone were 2-0 winners at home, setting up this game at Hartsdown Park as a revenge game for the Blues!

The officials for this match are Joshua Langley-Feining (referee), Luke Morley (assistant referee), and Martyn Milligan (assistant referee).
