Maidstone's home friendly against Crawley on Saturday has been cancelled.

League 2 Reds have a fixture against Reading on Monday and don't want to play two games in 48 hours.

Crawley boss Mark Yates said: "We have a relatively small squad at the moment and two players recovering from long-term injury.

"I was concerned about the potential for further injuries by playing two games in 48 hours."

Reds chief executive Michael Dunford said: "We'd like to thank Maidstone for their understanding and apologise to them and both sets of supporters for the late cancellation of the fixture."

Stones, who host Welling tonight (Tuesday) and a Charlton XI on Thursday, are looking for an alternative fixture.
