Carshalton Athletic 0 Maidstone United 1
A solitary goal from Maidstone’s Jamie Pinnock just before the interval proved enough to enable the visitors to leave Colston Avenue with three vital Ryman League Premier Division points, and leave the Robins struggling at the wrong end of the division.
Again, Carshalton failed to make the most of home advantage and there was little to raise the temperature or spirits of the sparse Thursday evening crowd.
Francis Vines has an enormous task in front of him to bring back any consistency to a team that now bears no resemblance in personnel and ability to the side that missed out on promotion by the narrowest margin last season.
Robins: Nick Hamann, Karl Murray, Rob Watkins (Justyn Roberts), David Woozley, Joe Dolan, Kenny Beaney, Barry Stevens, Gerry Gonella (Michael Lee Charles), Craig Faulconbridge, Richard Jolly, Rashid Kamara (David Ray)
Subs not used: Stefan Cox, Orlando Smith
