The Oystermen return to the YMS Stadium on Tuesday evening as Punjab United make the journey to Whitstable for another important Isthmian League South East Division fixture.

Lee Martin's side will be looking to get back to winning ways after Saturday's 2-2 draw away at Sevenoaks Town brought their impressive winning streak to an end.

After a fantastic run of nine consecutive victories, Whitstable will be keen to start another positive run and make home advantage count under the lights.

Saturday's draw at Sevenoaks saw the Oystermen's winning run come to an end, but there is plenty of reason for confidence following the excellent results that preceded it.

Tuesday provides an immediate opportunity to respond, with three valuable league points up for grabs at the Belmont.

The squad have shown their quality and attacking threat throughout recent weeks, and the focus will be on returning to the standards that brought eight consecutive victories.

With the supporters behind them, Whitstable will be determined to make a positive start and get back to winning ways.

Punjab United are a Gravesend-based club founded in 2003, initially beginning life as a Sunday league side before progressing through the Kent football pyramid.

The club enjoyed considerable success in the Kent County League, winning the Premier Division title in 2016/17 before securing promotion to the Southern Counties East Football League.

Further progress followed, including the SCEFL Division One title in 2017/18 and the Kent Senior Trophy in 2022/23.

Punjab secured their place in the Isthmian League South East Division through the SCEFL Premier Division play-offs at the end of last season, earning promotion to Step 4 for the first time in the club's history.

They play their home matches at the Steve Cook Stadium in Gravesend, named in memory of the club's much-loved former groundsman.

Punjab arrive in Whitstable following a 2-2 draw away at South Park on Saturday, having also picked up an impressive 2-1 home victory over Herne Bay the previous weekend.

Their recent results show they are capable of competing in this division, and they will be looking to take something away from Tuesday's visit.

The Oystermen will need to be at their best, showing the same energy, organisation and attacking intent that have served them so well during their recent run.

With both sides looking to collect important points, another competitive evening of football awaits at the YMS Stadium.

Midweek football returns to Whitstable, and we hope to see plenty of supporters making the most of another evening under the lights.
