Five New Signings Announced:
The club today confirmed the signing of five new players as Alan and Lloyd start rebuilding the side ready for the new season.
The most high profile of the signings is Trinidad & Tobago international Ian Cox who joins the Stones from Division Four outfit Gillingham. Also joining are Jay Saunders and James Pinnock, both from Margate, along with Kevin Watson and Roland Edge, both from Folkestone Invicta.
Meanwhile, it looks as though Mo Takaloo has played his last game for the club as strong rumours are circulating that he has rejoined Ramsgate.

Folkestone Invicta 0-1 Stones:
What a day! A massive away following for the Stones (where have they been all season?) witnessed a gritty, backs-to-the-wall performance that ensured our Premier Division survival at the expense of Folkestone.
Mo Takaloo scored the only goal of the game and that's all there is too it.
We are staying up!

Stones 1-2 Heybridge Swifts:
Stones blew a great chance of virtually ensuring Ryman Prem safety with a home defeat at the hands of Heybridge Swifts.
Jacob Erskine put Stones 1-0 after only seven minutes but two goals late in the game gave all three points to the visitors and condemed Stones to needing a win at Folkestone on the final day of the season.

12th April
Harrow Borough 0-1 Stones:
Maidstone went into this game knowing that Premier Division survival could well rest on the outcome. To this end it was a very attacking Stones team that went at their hosts fro the outset. Harrow were restricted to but a handful of shooting opportunities but thankfully they twice put the ball wide of the goal when it would have nbeen far easier to score.
The introduction of Mo Takaloo was the inspiration Stones needed and it was Mo who was on hand to score the only goal of the game, in the 75th minute.
This result moves Stones two places out of the relegation zone but with only two games left, things are still very tight.

5th April
Stones 1-4 Ashford Town (Middlesex):
If, or when, the Stones are relegated we will look back at this embarrassing performance in the knowledge that on a day when the club needed at least a point, they instead got exactly what they deserved - nothing. This has to be one of the worst performances of the season.
The visitors went ahead as early as the tenth minute (although it was quite late for us to concede a goal in reality!) while at the other end their keeper had very little to do for the remainder of the first half.
Stones started the second half brightly, equalising after just three minutes when Ben Lewis scored his first goal for the club from a typical Aaron Lacy throw-in. Unfortunately that was about it as far as Stones were concerned. The visitirs stepped it up a gear and rattled in three more goals before the referee decided enough was enough.
Amazingly Stones are still not in the relegation zone, but it surley won;t be long if we continue to play like this!
