Selection poser for Stones boss

00:00, 27 September 2002

MAIDSTONE United’s unbeaten record this season will be tested to the limit on Sunday when Ryman Premier League Boreham Wood arrive at Central Park in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup (kick-off 3pm).

Stones manager Jim Ward said: "They are a big strong side at the back and fluent in midfield and attack. But my players are always surprising me and who knows what can happen in a one-off cup match.

The game has been moved to Sunday because Sittingbourne are at home on Saturday to Newport IOW who Stones beat in the previous round of the cup.

Ward must decide whether to select Steve Marshall, who netted a hat-trick in the last round at Newport, or Richard Sinden as striking partner for Steve Butler in what is likely to be a tough and physical match.

If the game is drawn, the replay will take place at Boreham Wood’s Meadow Park ground on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm).
