FA Trophy 1st Round Proper: Walford Town 1 2 Maidstone United Att 1,459
Walford Town in disappointing collapse
Maidstone United's match against Walford Town will have been a meaningful one for Maidstone's Josh Rees as he was able to celebrate victory over his former club.
Maidstone captain Lee Worgan suffered the ignominy of scoring an unfortunate own goal in the 5th minute.
Young winger Keelan O'Connell then equalised for Maidstone in the 67th minute with a close range shot hitting the back of the net.
And it was the old Walford man Josh Rees who broke Wally's hearts by scoring the extra time winner on 98 minutes.
By then it was too much for Walford to try and get anything from the match.

Six of the best for Walford Town
The result flatters Walford, although the finishing shows that there is strength in depth for the Wally's.
With a disappointing crowd of just 344 at Silver Jubilee Park, the Walford Town fans that could be bothered to come celebrated an emphatic 6-1 victory over Hendon. This included a hat trick for bench warmer Matty McGinn.
But it was Hendon who took first blood, Henry Gough giving the Greens the lead after 39 minutes, and it stayed that until 69 minutes when Matty McGinn equalised, much to the relief of the Walford faithful, who must have been worrying that they were going to become victinms of a giant killing.
And so it went into extra time, which both clubs had agreed upon before kick off, Brodie Paterson certainly showed hi worth when he put Walford ahead straight after the extra time kick off.
Hendon heads went down and Thurston Johnson joined in the fun, scoring barely a minute after Paterson had.
Walford club captain Peter MacDonald then added to the lead after 104 minutes with McGinn working well from midfield to score inthe 113th minute and to add further insult to injury to Hendon knocking in a goal right at the end of the match to make it 6-1 to the Wally's.

Wally's win against Bath
There was a huge sigh of relief from the travelling Wally's fans after this match at Twerton Park as Walford Town finally got back on the road to winning matches after a dip in form, but they certainly didn't do it the easy way.
Experienced striker Thurston Johnson added to his tally of goals this season when he gave Walford Town the lead in the 33rd minute.
Bath equalised in the second half with young Joe White showing confidence and composure aplenty with a tidy finish in the 57th minute.
Winger Alireza Vahedi Nikbakht then put Town back in front after 77 minutes witha deflty eexcuted finish.
But Bath City equalised again when Rees Wedderburn put his shot into the bottom left corner with only 5 minutes to go and it looked like the points would be shared.
But in injury time from a corner, the ball bounced off Bath's Andy Watkin's head and past the keeper for Walford to take all three points.
They say that for a team to win the league they need some luck along the way...well this was certainly a day of luck for the Wally's.

Walford Town fail to convert changes
In the Vanarama match of the day, where 1st placed Walford took on 2nd place Hampton & Richmond, it was H&R who took the three points in a somewhat surprising result.
The Wally's were still smarting over their FA Cup defeat to Swindon Town the week before, and it seemed that the hangover continue on a little bit longer.
Things turned sour for the Wally's when veteran centre back Siphiwe Mkhonza earned himself an early bath for continously fouling on 57 minutes.
Defensive forward Jason Williams gave Hampton the lead with an accuratley placed shot in the 65th minute.
Williams then added his second of the afternoon witha close range strike on 68 minutes.
Wright scored with 20 yards in the 78th minute to further the lead and Williams completed the demolition with his well deserved hat trick on 80 minutes.
Walford are still top tonight but now only by goal difference with Hampton & Richmond ready to take advantage of any more Wally's mishaps.
