Maidstone United boss Jay Saunders has rejected suggestions his side’s top-of-the-table clash at Dulwich Hamlet is a title decider.

Stones travel to south London on Saturday, leading Hamlet on goal difference in the Ryman League Division 1 South title race.

Saunders, pictured, said: "I know people are talking it up as a title decider but to say whoever wins on Saturday will win the league is rubbish.

"I know our boys will be treating it as another game and I’m sure Dulwich will be the same. There’s still a long way to go.

"Everyone expected us to romp the league but just because you’ve got a new ground doesn’t mean you are going to run away with it."

Stones beat Dulwich 5-0 in October but Saunders believes that result will have no bearing on Dulwich’s approach in the return game.

"Dulwich will be up for the game after what happened at our place but I don’t think they will set up any differently," he said.
