Heath made the long Away trip to Ramsgate for the 2nd time this Season on a warm but windy day by the coast, Ramsgate in excellent form and only a few results away from being confirmed as league Champions.

Heath made a couple of changes to last weeks side with Sean Terry coming in for Jamie Chesworth and Matt Hay returning to the starting line up after serving a one match suspension.

Ramsgate starting the game as you would expect with plenty of possession and in confident form but Heath had set out defensively and were making it hard for Ramsgate to break down the defensive units, the first chance for Ramsgate came on 5 minutes when a quickly taken free kick gave Alfie Paxman a shooting opportunity which Alfie Hadfield saved comfortably.
On 13 minutes a rare break from Heath saw Mark Goldson shoot from distance, narrowly going over the Ramsgate bar, on 20 minutes Ramsgate opened the scoring with a break down the right hand side, a poor clearance from Heath was jumped on by Roarie Deacon and his shot from close range beat Hadfield to put the Home side 1-0 up.
On 30 minutes Joe Taylor was found inside the Heath 18 yard box and he struck the far post and Heath cleared the rebound, after that Heath reduced Ramsgate to minimal chances and the half ended 1-0.

The 2nd half started similar to the 1st with Ramsgate having a lot of possession but not creating much and Heath trying for quick breaks, on 52 minutes Heath had a corner and a diving header from Sal Marino went straight in the hands of Hadler.

The rest of the half was back and forth without any notable chances for either side until the 85th minute when a Matt Hay dribble into the box saw him brought down by Deacon but much to the amazement of the players the Ref waived played on for what seemed a stonewall penalty, Heath continued to push for a late equaliser, in the last minute another Penalty appeal when Eugene Moteane took on Deacon inside the box and was grappled of the ball but once again the Referee saw nothing wrong with the challenge and the game ended 1-0 to Ramsgate.

Simmo said afterwards: I was really proud of how the lads approached the game and took on the instructions this week, the performance was so much better than last couple of weeks, and the only down side is that it was another stonewall penalty decision going against us that could of earned us a really hard fought and deserved point against a top side.

Next up for The Bears is a visit from Hythe Town on Saturday 12th April.

Team: Hadfield, Marino, Terry (Chesworth 60), Napper, Bromage, Peters, Dowdell (Moteane 37, Evans, Goldson, Hay, Doughty.
