This was the only victory during May, with the Brewers losing their other four matches against Dover, Hinkley Athletic twice and Ramsgate respectively.
Raynor finished top goal scorer for the Albion that season (11), with Lindy Delaphena three goals behind on eight.
Margate topped this division at the end of the season, with Cheltenham Town and Dover all also finishing above the Brewers.
