History makers

It's the first time since the second tier of the non-league system was split into two - North and South - that a team from the sixth tier of the English football pyramid reached the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Superb counter attacking goals either side of half-time from Lamar Reynolds and Sam Corne helped seal the victory, but it was Stones goalkeeper Lucas Covolan who deservedly won the Player of the Match award afer producing a string of fine saves.

To highlight the enormity of the shock, Maidstone currently sit fourth in the National League South table, fully 98 places behind Ipswich who sit second in the Championship.

The Tractor Boys were matched at a low of 1.071/14 to secure victory.

Maidstone will now be hoping for a plum draw in round five, where just 16 teams will participate including current FA Cup holders and 3.211/5 favourites Manchester City.
