Match Preview

After no league game last week, 'Bridge will be itching to get stuck into Maidstone III at Mote Park on Saturday.

Maidstone have so far played 2, lost 2 coming undone badly 73-3 last week away at new club Swanley. With Swanley being a completely new side, it is hard to read too much into last weekend's result. In the opening week, they lost 22-30 at home to Old Gravesendians.

Maidstone will be no pushover for 'Bridge this weekend, especially at home and the travellers in Black and Yellow will need to ensure they bring their 'A' game and avoid the sleepy start they produced against Gillingham on Saturday.

A few players are welcomed back from absence with Lewis Bowen and Dominic Mitchell back to the available squad but this season 'Bridge are enjoying the luxury of continuity, especially in key positions. Unfortunately, Tomas Tolnai looks to be out for a while with an injury picked up in the friendly against Gillingham but 'Bridge look to have debutant Aran Harris available for his first inclusion in a matchday squad.

The final team announcement is to be made on Friday.

Kickoff on Saturday is at 15.00 and any travelling support would be most appreciated. Mote Park is a lovely ground with some real character in the clubhouse. The address for any travellers is The Mote, Willow Way, Maidstone, ME15 7RN
