Report: Stones clinch play-off place

Raphe Brown scored the winner at Farnborough as Maidstone secured a National League South play-off place.

Defender Brown headed home the only goal 13 minutes from time to guarantee a top-seven finish.

A hardworking display was rewarded with a deserved victory as George Elokobi’s side ended the hosts’ seven-match winning streak.

Fourth-placed Maidstone can now concentrate on trying to secure a top-three finish and a home semi-final. They currently trail Braintree on goal difference.

The visitors had the two best opportunities of a goalless first half at Cherrywood Road.

Brown saw a header from Sam Corne right-wing corner well-saved by Jack Turner early on.

Turner came to Boro’s rescue again midway through the half, sticking out a leg to deny Matt Rush from close range.
