Stones could be in for a rocky ride

Aldershot Town take on National League new boys, Maidstone United at the Recreation Ground looking for their first three points of the season.

Gary Waddock is back for a second spell to manage the club he led to the National League title in 2008. His side suffered a 1-0 defeat at Barrow on Saturday, but the Shots had two glorious chances to level matters with Shamir Fenelon hitting the post shortly after Barrow opened the scoring. The signing of Scott Rendell should add much-needed fire power to Waddock’s side who look a decent bet at 6-5 to get their campaign up and running.

Maidstone began the season with an impressive performance at home to York, but had to settle for a share of the spoils after conceding a late goal.
