Ebbsfleet Utd – The Vale – 7 Jan

We welcome Ebbsfleet Utd to The Vale this coming  Saturday (7 Jan)  for our latest Vanarama National League South fixture kick-off 15:00.

Our visitors are presently sitting in 2nd place in the League, 10 points behind leaders Maidenhead Utd, on 45 points having won 13, drawn 6 and lost 4 from their 23 games played scoring 44 and conceding 20 goals. In the festive fixtures they went down 1-2 at  Dartford on Boxing Day but got revenge on New Years day when they defeated the Darts 1-0 in front of 2654 crowd.

The Stones management team and squad will be looking to build on the improving run of results which came to an end on New Years day when we suffered a 2-0 defeat at Maidenhead Utd.  Another tough encounter lies ahead, get behind the lads from the off, make plenty of noise for the 90+ minutes as we go in search of the 3 points on offer.

We would like to thank Andrew Lane  for sponsoring the game & Mark Conby and Paul Harvey for the match ball donation.
