Hakan Hayrettin won’t stop grizzling until Maidstone are National South champions.

The Stones moved a step closer with a sparkling 4-0 victory at Hemel Hempstead on Saturday and need a maximum of six points from their final three games to take the title.

Dorking maintained the pressure by beating Concord 7-2 but United’s seventh successive win, a result lit up by four outstanding goals, keeps them four points clear.

“We got four fantastic goals, three unbelievable points and long may it continue, so we can get this team over the line,” said Stones boss Hayrettin.

“I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that’s done.

“Yes, I’m going to grizzle, yes, I’m going to moan, so I can get my point across to the players.

“Sometimes they hate me, I don’t care, I do my job with passion, I do my job with energy, I do my job with love, making sure I can get this team over the line, because that’s what I was brought here to do.”

Hemel had won six of their previous eight home games, to stay on the fringes of the play-off picture, but they were ruthlessly dealt with by a Maidstone side who look more like champions every week.

There’s still work to do, of course, and Hayrettin won’t let his players get carried away, but they’re doing him proud, with Sam Corne’s double and goals from Jack Barham and Jerome Binnom-Williams earning their latest victory.

“It was a good performance against a team that went to Dartford and got a point, and should have won,” said Hayrettin.

“They’re a good, organised team, but we took our chances and then we tried to control the game and I think we did for the majority.

“The first 20 minutes were a bit nervy and my message to the players is always the same, you have to work harder than the opposition and for a period I thought it was touch and go, and then we got on top and I thought we were better than them.

“Our first two goals are classic us, we like to move it early and get things going.

“I thought Sam Corne was excellent, immense, but so was the whole team.

“We’ve got to keep going now. My message is the same. It’s not over till it’s over, we’ve got to keep pushing, we’ve got to keep driving, we’ve got to keep doing the right things.

“We’ve got to play with enthusiasm and tempo and spirit, everything that’s brought us here so far we’ve got to continue, we’ve got to get it over the line.”

Joe Ellul’s injury gave Hayrettin a chance to hand club captain George Elokobi his first league action in six months.

The big man made his comeback from a long-term groin injury in the Kent Senior Cup at Tonbridge in February but hadn’t featured in the league since October.

Hayrettin was keen to get him involved before the end of the season and took the chance at Hemel as Ellul hobbled off.

“I thought he came on and didn’t put a foot wrong for 15/20 minutes,” said Hayrettin.

“He’s been immense for me in the changing room, a leader of men, he does everything the right way.

“I’m pleased I could give him some minutes today. He’s a big factor for me, George, a big factor.”
