Billericay Town v Maidstone United

LUIS CUMBERS will not be able to play for Maidstone in their FA Cup third qualifying round tie at Billericay on Saturday.

Stones joint-manager Lloyd Hume explained: "Gillingham have lent him to us, but he might play a part in their cup run later in the season, so they don't want him cup tied.

"We're very grateful to them because they're helping us out and we can help them as he needs first-team experience to toughen him up.

"The strains of men's football are very different to youth football, but he's done brilliantly well for us – at our level a player of his quality should be scoring every week."

Cumbers aside, the starting line-up is likely to be unchanged for the trip to Essex.
