Jay Saunders, manager of Folkestone Invicta FC, praised his side’s clinical second‑half display after a 5–0 away victory at Lewes on 7 February 2026. The win kept the Folkestone club at the top of the Isthmian Premier Division as they continue to push for promotion this season.
Saunders said the team started the game slowly but improved after the interval, and that tactical changes at half‑time to get the wide players more involved helped the side take control of the match and score several goals.
Match coverage in The Non‑League Paper noted the result maintained a large margin at the top of the table (the report said Invicta preserved a 14‑point cushion). Captain Kevin Lokko and goalkeeper Ted Collins were cited as important in helping the side keep Lewes from scoring. (The club also announced the signing of goalkeeper Harley Earle earlier in the week; he was added to the squad but was not credited in match coverage as having played a part in the clean sheet.)
The result keeps Folkestone in a strong position at the summit of the Isthmian Premier Division. Saunders also thanked the travelling supporters for their backing and said he wants to see the same intensity in future matches.
