Saturday’s tie finished level at 2-2 following extra-time but Jones bagged two as City fought back from 2-1 down to run out 3-2 victors.

After Jones put City ahead, Ollie Lee and Kane Rowland struck to give Town a 2-1 lead.

With 20 minutes to play, Jones got a second and Clack struck as City turned it around.

In the first game in Kent, Chi had good spells of possession on a windy afternoon that didn’t make it easy for either side, but were pegged back twice, the first time with virtually the last kick of the 90 minutes that cancelled out Clack’s strike.

They showed character to re-take the lead in extra-time through Jack Lee, but Whitstable managed to stay in the tie.
