BASINGSTOKE Town go in search of some more points to help them avoid the drop from National League South, as they travel to high flying Maidstone on Saturday.

The Dragons are eight points away from safety at the moment and when they last played Maidstone they did enough to something from the game, but were beaten 1-0.

The Kent side third in the table, suffered their first loss in six games last Saturday as they lost 2-1 at Town's relegation rivals Havant and Waterlooville to a couple of late goals.

The Dragons will hope they can do the same and Michael Gilkes is keen for his side to maintain their recent unbeaten run.

Town drew 4-4 at Wealdstone last weekend, but the loss came at a cost as captain David Ray was injured again and joins Jamie Brown, Simon Dunn and Harrison Gilkes as players who will not figure against Maidstone.

Looking ahead to the game in Kent at the Gallagher Stadium, Gilkes said: "They are a physical side who have been very consistence all season, but I feel we can go there and get something out of the game."
