We're back to our full compliment this week with a proper show - well, in fact, it's a special one! We have a chat with Sheppey United goalkeeper Aiden Prall after his side made it through to the FA Cup Third Qualifying Round, where they will head to Wales - Aiden discusses that tie, this weekend's derby in the FA Trophy and their start to the season after some upheaval on the eve of the new campaign. Glebe are unbeaten so far in the league and top of the SCEFL table after eight games - joint-manager Craig Nelson discusses their start, the weekend draw with Kennington, the bright future at the club and their FA Vase tie with Cove this weekend. Lydd Town joint-manager James Rogers discusses their Vase tie this weekend, season so far and reflects on his 20 years in football, while it's also 20 years since Matt covered his first game for BBC Radio Kent at Dover - friends and colleagues pay tribute to him for 20 years of brilliant service. We also have the usual chat and nonsense, which includes the worst food combination you've ever heard, the return of Neighbours and loads more besides.

Thanks to the good (and by that I mean absent) people of Gatwick air traffic control, this week's show is shorter and contains only half of your usual presenting team - but two good interviews make up for it. It's an unbeaten start to life at Cray Valley PM for Steve McKimm, and he is now getting ready for a big FA Cup tie against Northwood on Saturday - he discusses that tie, life in the Isthmian South East and why he's loving life with the Millers. Faversham scored nine unanswered goals in their two games this week and are up to fifth in the table - we hear from boss Sammy Moore about why it took his team a bit of time to settle and his hopes for a successful season. There's all the rest of the news after a goal-laden week in the SCEFL, and a look ahead to this weekend's big FA Cup ties, while Frasier and Sweden is about as far as the non-football chat goes...

A bumper show after a packed weekend of football, with the FA Cup taking centre stage. Top of the bill were Ramsgate, who shocked Isthmian Premier League leaders Chatham with a 5-1 away win - captain for the day and two-goal hero Joe Taylor reflects on the win, his well-taken goals and discusses his summer decision to return home. A rare defeat for the Chats, and their boss Kevin Hake admits he was disappointed to go out of the cup, but is hoping it's just a blip. Next up for the Chats is a home game with Cray Wanderers, whose start to the season mirrors Chatham - they've lost all five league games but won 5-1 in the FA Cup. Wands boss Neil Smith talks us through the challenges he's faced so far this term and the bright future off the pitch at the club with work in full flow at their new stadium. Erith & Belvedere were knocked out of the Cup - but it took a replay for Hastings to beat Matt Longhurst's side - Nigel Jones spoke to the Deres boss after the initial tie ended all square and he reflected on their improved performance in the goalless draw. We've got all rest of the news and action from across the county, including a rubbish week in the National League South and goals aplenty in the SCEFL, for a change.

Dartford first-team coach Alan McLeary discusses that game from the Darts side, reflecting on their first two wins of the season - and how they hope to kick on from here. Lordswood scored 10 goals in their two games over the weekend, but boss Matt Barman admits it was overshadowed by a horrible injury to Ethan Stewart - Matt discusses how that affects him and his team, plus their positive start to the season and the project at the club.

We hear from both managers after the cup clash between Lydd Town and Deal Town was abandoned with eight minutes left to play - and will be replayed on Monday. Lydders joint-boss James Rogers discusses his side's performance in the game that was played, their fine start to life in the SCEFL and what tempted him back to management. Deal Town boss Steve King was sent off at the break of that clash on Saturday and he tells us about the bad luck that has hit his side so far this season, what he did after being sent off and his belief that things will turn around. Nigel's Welling have lost all four of their National League South fixtures so far but boss Danny Bloor tells him that the Wings are still upbeat, even though results are not matching performances just yet. We've got all the rest of the news from the FA Cup and the league programme and look ahead to a busy weekend which has some questionable scheduling from the National League.
