Maidstone United manager Hakan Hayrettin delighted with performance in 0-0 National League draw with Solihull Moors

Hakan Hayrettin couldn’t speak highly enough of Maidstone’s performance against Solihull Moors.

Last night’s National League match at the Gallagher may have finished goalless but the Stones did their manager proud.

Moors can’t boast the Football League history of some of their promotion rivals but, make no mistake, Neal Ardley’s side are one of the best teams in the division.

"I'm proud and I'm pleased, it's about us building bricks now, building momentum. We're slowly getting players back, the competition's getting healthier.

"This performance is up there for me, this season. Even last season, it's up there.
