Maidstone United Women progressed to the third round of the GoCardless Kent Women’s Plate with a commanding 9-0 victory over Hollands & Blair Reserves.

The Stones scored 19 goals in just eight days across two cup competitions.

Tori Campbell’s side created numerous chances in the opening minutes, but it took until the 26th minute to break the deadlock. Georgia Culpitt headed home for her first of the afternoon.

Just three minutes later, Culpitt doubled the lead, slamming the ball in from a Kylie Manktelow cross.

Ellie Hinkley made it three before half-time, smashing the ball home after 41 minutes.

Early in the second half, Culpitt had opportunities to complete her hat-trick, but it was Maddie Dale who struck next, drilling the ball inside the far post.

Ten minutes into the second half, Maidstone made a double change, introducing Chi Madamombe and Tori Campbell for Dale and Hinkley.

Culpitt’s tireless work rate paid off on the hour mark as she secured her hat-trick, giving the Stones a five-goal advantage.

A minute later, another double substitution saw Jas Etheridge and Neve Platt replace Georgia Pearch and Kady Wilkinson. The hat-trick hero was withdrawn on 72 minutes, with Kelsi Wilkinson coming on.

Substitute Madamombe made it six on 73 minutes after good play from Millie Waud, and Campbell added a seventh four minutes later.

There was no easing off as the game entered its final stages. Captain Annie White scored a stunning goal on 84 minutes, curling the ball into the top corner from a Manktelow free kick. Manktelow was involved again in the 90th minute, providing a neat ball for Madamombe to grab her second of the afternoon.

After a two-week break from league action, the Stones return next Sunday, aiming for three points when they visit Betteshanger Welfare.
