The League's representative drew with the Sheppey Sunday League at Sittingbourne FC on Wednesday 11th November See below for report

After a fast and furious start by the Sheppey league a resulting corner opened the scoring for Sheppey after 20 min the pace continued putting the NKSL under pressure then a free kick 10yrds outside the box saw NKSL player Dave Goodwin strike the bar, the NKSL were playing them selves back into the game and with 1 min remaining of the first half a scramble in the Sheppey defence saw Dave Goodwin take advantage and slot the ball home to make it 1 -1 at the break.



The second half was a different affair with all the pressure coming from NKSL and once again man of the match Dave Goodwin striking the bar with a header from a free kick, the continued pressure saw goalmouth scrambles with the Sheppey keeper making some fine saves then against the run of play Sheppey broke away in the 70 min and after the initial shot being saved Sheppey scored from the follow up, NKSL continued to pressurise the Sheppey defence and persistence paid off when Robin Taws broke free and slotted passed the opposing keeper in the 76 min to make it 2 – 2 several chances fell NKSL way but failed to capitalise on them making the final result 2 -2
