Ramsgate v Maidstone

A crowd in excess of 500 is expected at Southwood tonight (Tuesday) when Ramsgate lock horns with Ryman League Premier Division rivals Maidstone.

Ramsgate manager and former Stones boss Jim Ward, who chalked up a first league win of the season with Saturday's 1-0 victory at Harrow, said: "I love these derby games.

"If it doesn't get the players' adrenaline pumping then nothing will. Maidstone enjoy a big support away from home and we're expecting somewhere in the region of 500 plus for the match."
