Maidstone United vs. Charlton Athletic U23s
The Stones are back at the Gallagher Stadium tomorrow as preparations for the new season continue.
After an enforced break, the players returned to action on Tuesday evening with a two-all draw away at Chatham and that was followed by a 2-1 win against Hythe Town on Thursday.
A fortnight before the National League South season gets underway, Charlton Athletic under-23s are at the home of the Stones for what is sure to be a stern test for Hakan Hayrettin’s side. Mason Burstow, who came to prominence playing for Stones U23s and Welling’s academy, is expected to be in the Addicks’ squad for the game.
There are two more friendlies lined up after this one. Stones will be away to East Thurrock United on Thursday 5 August and Folkestone Invicta on Saturday 7 August.
