Tonbridge v Maidstone

MAIDSTONE United go to Tonbridge Angels on Saturday looking to complete the double over their most fierce rivals.

Their 2-1 win at Bourne Park in September not only secured temporary bragging rights, it also went some way to seeing Angels' former manager Tony Dolby being ousted in October.

But Stones joint manager Alan Walker is hoping his players can focus on the Ryman League Premier Division points at stake, rather than one-upmanship.

He said: "I've managed both clubs, there are players who have turned out for both so there is going to be a lot of rivalry.

"What's most important is that our players stay focussed on the job of getting the three points because we need to follow up the win against Hendon."

Midfielder Sam Tydeman is unavailable as he is attending a family wedding but Mo Takaloo is available having completed a one-match suspension.

James Peacock starts a one-match ban.
