Gallagher Stadium
National League South
It was the night before the night before Christmas when all at the ground not a creature was stirring just those outside on the mound the stockings were worn by the players on the pitch in hopes the promotion soon could be in reach the fans were nestled all snug in the stands
While visions of three points danced in their minds with peer in his jeans and I in my suit we’re here at Stones live will guide you through exactly 200 years ago today a visit from St Nicholas was first first published more commonly known as TW the Night Before Christmas
Piers is my sant’s little helper today Piers Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas how how how do you see this one going today uh well hoping for a win of course uh no my luck behind the mic I know that’s not I don’t have the best of
Luck but yeah definitely open for three points hoping for a bit of a return to form after the worthy game cuz we know that wasn’t our the greatest performance was it indeed I don’t think it was goals conceded but yeah looking for a good performance today I’m sure the players
Out there will be looking Fowler to hook up field for Rush to try and get a bounce but it’s headed Away by that blonde mop of Dan Ellison comes to the right hand side W Andro Smith gets a challenge in retains possession he’s got H’s back line goes ahead
Himself ryong had a moment there cyano with the block his nlm gets challenge in breaks away from his man he’s got a shot on goal and the wind certainly took that a little bit there appears didn’t he K deep in his own half over the
Halfway line now to rush with a bit of space loose touch and gives it away unfortunately to King who plays it across field in an equally poor pass with uh aong with a lot of space and a shot and it’s palmed Away by Henry but Barkley aong with his first touch since
Triing in a Maidstone shirt and he really gave that some Welly there Pierce didn’t he yeah no really good chance there for mstone he’s a aong has had a lot of space there on just outside the the chi box he just gone out for a masone corner wind’s going to be
Devilish for either side for shots coming in and peering the goals is going to be a good idea as K swings his Corner in at the near post headed Up and Away by Allison AIA gets Adon gets a block in headed into the bul by zenim is’s at
Kianu just can’t keep the ball under control as Jones tries to clear away zenim now has the ball gets it to Corn sses the ball up and underneath at the back stick heads it across go W Smith saved well by Henry fantastic save by Henry claw that out the top Corner
Lovely guided finish is kovan B looking for ball down the right hand side which Jones collects but she is with him once more seems to fall over his own feet and ball there as spokes with Williams now Bradbury Jones the ball across and he’s managed to get himself in there is King
Under the challenge of H corn goes in for a challenge here and Maidstone give away a throw in he wants a quick word with Vice skip K who just left a little bit of aggro on referee Marlin there he’s annoyed that his challenge wasn’t
Able to win a throw in it might well be that the ball had already gone out there appears potentially that’s why he didn’t get the throw so I’ve been reliably informed which I’ll get to that in a minute that throwing comes in and that wind really took it on a little bit more
And the shot comes in low left footed another one and it’s an absolute pitch of a Strike wow wowow in the 27th minute and that is Jake Evans who is back in the side this afternoon and he is absolutely rip snorted one into the top corner and the last few minutes it has
Sort of been coming but it was not coming from that sort of distance and that effort but it was the fact that Bradbury had a chance initially and that wasn’t defended well enough and then neither was Evans one and that absolutely lashed into the top corner so it’s Maidstone United nil Chippenham
Town one f is going to for infield he’s got aong as an option he’s got kiano back line to his left caprano tries to go forward now has a little spin himself back to K furest back Outfield player for the stones to Ay on his right hand
Side ball in field Rush tries to spin his man gets past his man gets a shot in at the near post it’s blocked by Henry Henry gets another touch and then eventually brings it under his own possession and Rush got quite lucky they just managed to spin the ball through
His Center back there didn’t he Andel Smith is unable to keep that one in so a throw in at left back and you guessed it will King will be the man to put that one in he’s not he’s ended up at right back instead he certainly wasn’t taking that
Throw in I guess that got it wrong King certainly staying on this touch Line near us at least as spokes gets down the right hand side past to zenim ball to the back post and happy has just about done enough to deflect it onto the Chippenham head there PE and uh
Could have been the most possible worst start for Maidstone there yeah no quick start for uh he’s got Peta on the left hand side gets his first touch of his last home appearance potentially back in field to k k FS across second time goes for it headed
Away Inside the Box Cipriano goes in for a challenge with golf score Evans out to the right hand side he’s charging along his aier and he Thunders one into the side netting almost woke everybody up in the town end there and Maidstone really have got to find something halfway through
This second half pi CU it remains Maidstone nil chipper and one and referee Mar here for Mone got H stood next to Henry and a Chipman and player is forming a sandwich there’s three of them on the line corner comes in headed away referee blows his whistle for for full
Time and it is a chenam win it is Maidstone United Neil Chippenham W and made Stone United fans not too happy down in the town end
