Maidstone, a National League South team, achieved a historic feat by reaching the fifth round of the world’s oldest cup competition for the first time since the 1977/78 season. They secured a thrilling 2-1 away victory against Ipswich Town at Portman Road, exemplifying the cup’s magic.
The team’s upcoming draw, against either Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry City, presents the need for another remarkable effort. Progressing into the quarter-finals could bring a substantial prize of £225,000 for the club. The replay between Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday, following their 1-1 draw, will determine Maidstone’s next opponent.
The next round of matches will commence in the week starting on Monday, February 26th. All eyes will be on Maidstone as they aim to continue their surprising journey in the competition.
