Best place your order now Jonty, they only had 1 behind the bar just now. Bonzo has had to help behind the bar which speeded things up, they are clueless and certainly wasn’t prepared for the amount of Darts fans.

Good ole Bonzo for helping out.

[Jonty]

Thanks Matt, John

Well done to those travelling down to the game. It has all the makings of an intriguing battle and a close game. Sods Law that the top 2 teams in the league are drawn together. Will be tuning into one of the commentaries.

What a great win, always pleasing to beat that lot.

[Grassbank]

Radio Kent closed their coverage by stating that, 'the gulf between the top two clubs in the league is huge and that Maidstone have a lot of catching up to do'. Music to my ears.

Top marks to the team today for what sounded like a professional demolition of our favourite opponents. I shall enjoy a celebration this evening.

Hoping for a kinder draw in the next round and the chance to finally put a league club to the sword in round one to give this squad the greater recognition that I believe they deserve.

[Silverado]

Oooh! That tastes REALLY sweet!!

[Babylon]

A massive test against Maidstone on plastic?
Excellent result and now Dover at home please.
I love beating our kent rivals.

An excellent performance from The Darts today with some superb football played at times. It was a very sloppy scrappy game from both sides to start with and it looked as though a goal either way would probably be the end result but how wrong I was.
As soon as we went 0-1 up from Noor Husin we stepped our game up and attacked more and Maidstone just couldn’t handle it.
The 2nd half started and we attacked from the start and 0-1 became 0-2 from a good Danny Leonard run. It then became 0-3 from Ade Aziz and could’ve been 0-4 after Ade scored again but unfortunately he was offside so disallowed.

Tom Bonner was immense today and didn’t give the Stones forwards a sniff so he gets my MOTM vote, hopefully his injury doesn’t keep him out to long, not sure if it was his hamstring or groin. Craig King hardly had a single save to make all game so good was our defence.

Absolutely superb performance by everyone and you could see what that result meant to all the players and Kingy when they came over to the fans at fulltime.

A disgraceful tackle from the Stones player on Michael Kedman near the end of the game which could’ve seriously injured him, he fully deserved his red card.

My first time at The Gallagher and wasn’t impressed with it at all, a massive roof on the stand which does absolutely sod all to protect you from the rain that they might as well not have bothered with it.

Look forward to the next round draw.
