Faversham defeated Stanway Rovers 2-0 to win the FA Trophy final on 26 September 2026. The result gives the visitors the tournament title without any further ado. By then, both sides had already navigated the earlier rounds to reach this stage.
Stanway Rovers took the field at their home ground but could not find a way through. The hosts had not won since a 3-0 victory over Mildenhall Town back in September 2025. To be fair, their last outing saw them lose 1-3 to Needham Market, which set the tone for the evening.
Faversham arrived in better form, having scored six goals in a single match against Horley Town just days earlier. They had also beaten Flackwell Heath 3-0 and drawn with Welling United. The visitors held their nerve in the final despite a 1-2 loss to Welling United on 8 September.
There are no further details available on how the goals were scored or when they arrived. The match statistics are not on record, so possession numbers or shot counts cannot be cited. What matters is the result: two goals separate the teams, and Faversham take the trophy.
The win puts Faversham at the top of their own narrative for the season. Stanway Rovers will have to weigh up what went wrong in a final they reached. The gap between the sides was clear on the day, and that is all the story requires.
