from today's game at Hastings
FULL TIME: Stones pick up the three points but it was
not a convincing win for the Stones, who looked disorganised
at times not helped by injuries to Tydeman and Miller.
But it's three points and an excellent start to our
Ryman League campaign!

over the line with the ball in his hands.
88mins:Rose tries a volley from 30 yards but sends
it well wide of Czanners post.

a few flutters in the Maidstone defence but Czanner
goes down under a challenge and receives treatment for
a couple of minutes.

delivery just taken away from the head of Takaloo.

Half-Time substitution and Austin comes on for the
injured Sam Tydeman who spent the latter part of the

low and left.

to reshuffle, with surprise return of Nathan Paul, and
