| Kingstonian 3-3 Tooting & Mitcham |
| A thrilling game in front of a seasons best crowd of 444 saw K's and the Terrors share the points following a three-all draw at Kingsmeadow. Neil Lampton's second minute free kick evaded everyone in the box to sail in for the opening goal, whilst Ben Abbey's shot in off the post levelled the scores with barely a quarter of an hour gone. Saheed Sankoh picked up from where he left at Kingsmeadow with a stunning strike to give K's the lead again before former Kingstonian favourite Ronnie Green cancelled out the advantage going into half time. A makeshift second half defence, missing all recognised centre backs, held out until just nine minute before the end before another former K's man, Paul Vines, applied a neat finish to a quick break. A final attack in the last minute attack however saw Bobby Traynor battle opponent and bobbling ball to calmly grab a last ditch equaliser to continue his charge for a second successive Golden Boot award. Full details are available here. |

| Julian Sills |
| Defender and captain Julian Sills has decided to leave the club and take a break from football, after 112 appearances in the famous red & white hoops. Simon Sobihy will take over as captain until the end of the season. Alan Dowson comments, "Sillsy has been an excellent servant to Kingstonian and has always conducted himself impeccably both on and off the field. He's not been enjoying his football this season and doesn't feel that he's been able to do himself or the team justice. He will go away and take some time to decide what the future holds. We will certainly miss Julian and he will always be welcome back at the club." |
