MAIDSTONE UNITED’S MAGNIFICENT F A CUP JOURNEY CAME TO AN END LAST NIGHT AFTER AN AMAZING ‘GOALATHON’ FROM LEAGUE TEAM COVENTRY CITY, WITH A HAT-TRICK FROM ELLIS SIMMS AT 9 MINS., 14 MINS., AND 35 MINS. RESPECTIVELY AND A BRACE FROM FABIO TAVARES., WITH A GOAL AT 88 MINS. AND ANOTHER IN EXTRA TIME AT 90 +2 MINS! YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THE SCORELINE, WHEN LOOKING AT THE FACES OF THE FANS FROM THE MAIDSTONE END, WITH THE 5,000 STRONG CROWD, WHO HAD TRAVELLED TO SEE THEM, STANDING UP AND CLAPPING AND CHEERING THEIR HEROES AS THE GAME ENDED, SEEMINGLY FEELING EXTREMELY HAPPY AND PROUD TO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ALONG ON THIS EXCITING JOURNEY WITH THEIR TEAM.
AND IN RETURN, MAIDSTONE SALUTED THEIR FANS
AS GEORGE ELOKOBI ALWAYS SAYS “IT’S A COMMUNITY THING…”
