Maidstone travel to Burnt Ash undefeated in 9 games, confidence running high. From the 1st whistle though things didn't seem right, Maidstone's normal fluid passing and running off the ball wasn't there. Several attacks making it into the D but good defending and poor touches stop the ball from going in.
7 minutes in however, Ash Messenger managed to keep his head and slots the ball passed the keeper from some good play through the midfield.

1-0 Maidstone.

The game continued in this way for another 25 minutes with many chances going begging, both short corners and normal play shots not being converted until Ian Lowe steps up and slams a shot into the bottom right corner from yet another short corner.

2-0 Maidstone at halftime.

The halftime talk was understandably direct. Shorten the game and take your time on the ball.
