Maidstone v Bury Town

MAIDSTONE United joint-manager Alan Walker says they must make home advantage count if they are to progress to the second qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

The Stones face Bury Town in a first round replay at Bourne Park tonight after the two sides shared a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Mario McNish (hamstring) is a major doubt but Lee Shearer will be available after he was red-carded for an alleged elbow on Saturday.

Instead, Shearer will miss the game against his former club Folkestone Invicta on November 10.

Walker said: "I think we should have enough in the locker to see us home. It won't be an easy game but we should be the favourites because of the distance they've got to travel on a Wednesday evening."
