STONES OPT TO STICK
MAIDSTONE UNITED will stick with caretaker duo Tristan Lewis and Simon Walton for now after two wins in their first three games in charge.
The pair took over at the end of December when a 3-1 defeat at relegation rivals Dover Athletic ended Harry Wheeler’s tenure after only threeand-ahalf months.
Lewis and Walton guided the Stones to a 1-0 win at Boreham Wood, but then lost again to Dover on New Year’s Day.
However, they bounced back at Hartlepool last week- end, winning 2-1, to buy themselves more time in the job. Chief executive Bill Williams said: “Tristan and Simon have done well since stepping up a fortnight ago and we’ve asked them to continue in that caretaker capacity. “They have the backing of the Board and I for one hope they will build on these first few games and get us moving up that league table.” The board intend to make a further announcement regarding their managerial situation by the end of January.
