Margate lost their last game at Horsham (placed 13th) after a 0-4 scoreline. As you see from the result above, Margate suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Preceding that result, a home loss in the Alan Turvey Trophy against Whitehawk.
