Maidstone United Women climbed to second in the league after a 3-0 victory away at Betteshanger Welfare.

Just like in last month’s home fixture, the Stones had to work hard for the three points against a well-organised and resilient opponent.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 38th minute when Ellie Hinkley confidently converted a penalty, netting her eighth goal of the season.

Six minutes later, the lead was doubled as Georgia Pearch fired home a rebound after a thunderous effort from Kylie Manktelow.

The third goal came right at the death, with Millie Waud powering in from a Neve Platt cross to seal the win in the 90th minute.

The Stones return to the Gallagher next Sunday for their final home game of the calendar year, hosting Long Lane in a 3:15pm kick-off.
