Kent Non-League Podcast - Episode 320
•
Lots of postponements, but plenty of talking points - and lots of exciting action from the games that were played. Maidstone United continued their great run of form as they brushed aside Enfield, with Shaq Coulthirst coming off the bench to grab a hat-trick - and the experienced frontman reflects on that treble, the Stones' continued impressive run and his hopes for the rest of the season. Hollands & Blair staged a superb late comeback to beat Whitstable on Tuesday night and boss Darren Blackburn is a happy man - he talks that win, increasing the experience in his squad and how he couldn't turn down the chance to help out a club that means so much to him. Four sides have applied to join the SCEFL for next season, and the chairman of one of them, Minster, tells us about their ambitions and explains the process behind trying to move up to Step 6. There's all the rest of the news, including a managerial departure, a call-off controversy, Ebbsfleet stopping the rot and more besides, plus the usual chat and nonsense, this week mainly including dog food.
