Maidstone United are into the next round of the FA Trophy thanks to a 2-0 win away at Ryman Premier strugglers Bognor Regis Town.

James Pinnock (pictured right) got the ball rolling for Stones on the stroke of half time with a good through run, before lobbing the ball over the outcoming keeper. The home side had an effort ruled out for offside shortly after the break and were also denied more than once by both Stones keeper Jamie Turner and the side netting.

But after weathering the storm, Shannon O'Donovan pounced inside the area on a mistake by the home keeper to seal the tie on 73 minutes.

Tonbridge Angels are also into the next round, in spectacular fashion too, with a 6-1 home win against Ryman South side Merstham.

Both sides also finished the game with 10 men and after only 20 minutes, the score was already 3-1 to the home side. Tony Booth opened the floodgates after two minutes, before Jermaine McGlashan levelled for the visitors five minutes later.

Carl Rook put Tonbridge ahead once more from the spot after 13 minutes and then Mark Cumberbatch stretched the lead to 3-1.

Lee Worgan then saved a Merstham penalty, before Lewis Hamilton and opponent Craig Vernon were shown second yellow cards for an off the ball incident.

Goals kept coming after the break as Lee Minshull, Booth again and then substitute Jean-Michel Sigere finished off the rout.
