Maidstone United will not settle for a replay in Saturday's FA Cup third qualifying round clash at Woking, says Stones joint-boss Lloyd Hume.

Hume, pictured, acknowledged that while a draw at Kingfield and a money-spinning replay might delight chairman Paul Bowden-Brown, it would not satisfy him.

He said: "I’m sure the chairman would take a replay if you offered it now but I wouldn’t. I want to be in the fourth qualifying round."

Hume believes the cup tie is the biggest game he and joint-boss Alan Walker have been involved in since they joined the Stones.

He added: "There will be a huge crowd, with a huge prize on offer and a place in the fourth qualifying round at stake. It couldn’t be a bigger game and we couldn’t have had a tougher game.

"Woking are flying in their league (Blue Square South). They are the only full-time team in their division and we are going there as underdogs."

Stones have a full-strength squad to choose from and could include new signing Jermaine Darlington, the former QPR, Wimbledon and Watford player – also famous for appearing ineligibly for AFC Wimbledon, prompting an FA fine and points deduction.
