Maidstone Rugby Club are heading to Twickenham for the Intermediate Cup final.

They beat Coney Hill 44-13 at The Mote on Saturday to set up a clash with Brignorth at the home of English rugby on May 3.

Eddie Cranston drove over for the opening score following a 5m scrum and Maidstone soon extended their lead with Ben Brill's touchdown converted by Ben Pitkin for 12-0.

Pitkin added a penalty, then Josh McKenzie burrowed over the line after skipper Ben Williams was helped up just short.

Gloucestershire opponents Coney Hill are top of their league and a strong side and finally put points on the board with a penalty from 40 metres, followed by an unconverted try for Andy Macrae after a catch-and-drive from a line-out.

Maidstone were on the front foot for the rest of the half and led 23-8 at the break after Pitkin kicked a penalty deep into 11 minutes of added time.

Coney Hill made a bright start to the second half with the ball moved wide for Luke Morgan to score.

And with Cranston sin-binned, Maidstone remained on the defensive until the end of the third quarter.

Brill and Cranston had tries ruled out as Maidstone dominated the final quarter.

The hosts killed the tie in the last 10 minutes with turnover ball near the right touchline moved left with Jamie Perigo releasing Ollie Newton to score, Pitkin adding the extras for a 30-13 lead.

A lovely offload by Jono Skelton set up a similar try for Newton, again converted, then man-of-the-match Matt Iles breached the defence for Maidstone's final score. Euan Caborn's conversion completed the victory.

As well as a trip to Twickenham to look forward to, Maidstone will clinch the London 2 South East title if they beat Crowborough at home on Saturday.
