Bivesh Gurung hopes to have played his way into contention for Maidstone’s FA Trophy Quarter-Final tie at home to Barnet tomorrow.

Gurung impressed as a half-time substitute in the Stones’ 2-1 defeat at Wealdstone on Tuesday night, adding midfield bite and energy.

His introduction in a change of system coincided with a much-improved performance after the break, with caretaker boss George Elokobi describing the 21-year-old as “excellent”.

He’d love to play a part in the Trophy as his hometown club bid to reach the last four of the competition for the first time in their history.
