The form table and league
table make for bad reading for Maidstone United at the
moment. However, despite being two points and one place
off the relegation zone, the closest league in years
leave plenty of room for optimism.
This fixture had been cancelled twice due to bad weather
and it wasn't to prove third time lucky for the Stones
after they conceeded a goal with just four minutes on
the clock when Wealdstone's Liam Henderson headed home
a cross from Dean Papali.
Loan signing Andy Pugh got the Stones back on level
terms nine minutes later following a defensive mix-up
between Jomo Faal-Thomas and Daniel Carr.
Wealdstone scored their second and decisive goal before
the half time whistle with Ryan Ashe fired home from
the edge of the box.
Steve Northwood replaced Pat Mullin between the sticks
at the start of the second half, with Aaron Lacy and
Mo Takaloo replacing Conor Hagan and Andy Pugh after
63 minutes.
The second half, like much of the first, was a scrappy
affair - with both side realising the pressure on them
as the season enters its final weeks.
Maidstone United joint managers Alan Walker and Lloyd
Hume know the task ahead of them and will be preparing
their team for the business end of the season.
