The Kent Non-League Football Podcast

Water week! I mean, literally, in that sense, sadly, but we still have a packed show for you, with two top interviews. Dover keeper Mitch Walker discusses their form after a third win in a row which takes them above their points tally from the last time they were in National League South and he chats about the feelgood factor and being the oldest player in the side. And, with thanks to Radio Wings and Nigel Jones, we have an in-depth chat with new Welling boss Ryan Maxwell, who discusses the challenges both on and off the pitch at Park View Road following his first win at the helm at the weekend.There's all the rest of the news from across the county, including a look ahead to this weekend's FA Vase clashes and a top of the table barnstormer in the SCEFL, and all the usual chat and nonsense, including the lack of water, more Matt stalking and takeaway plans.

Lots of talking points this week as leagues start to level up ahead of the busy festive period, and we have two interviews for you to enjoy. Sittingbourne boss Reece Prestedge reflects on his first three games in charge, replacing Ryan Maxwell and the massive potential of the club he now leads.
