Sittingbourne manager Ryan Maxwell’s verdict on their 4-2 FA Trophy third-round upset victory over Enfield Town

Ryan Maxwell’s confidence was vindicated as Sittingbourne marched on in the FA Trophy.

Boss Maxwell felt the Brickies had another upset in them, having already beaten Dover and Winchester, and he wasn’t wrong.

This time they bridged a two-division gap, coming from 2-1 down to beat Enfield Town 4-2 at Woodstock and reach the last 32 for the first time in the club’s history.

There was enough there to think it could be the Brickies’ day, with Enfield struggling at the foot of National League South and Maxwell’s side flying in Isthmian South East.

But the hosts were still very much the underdogs, even more so when the early lead given to them by Henry Sinai quickly turned into a 2-1 deficit.

But what a response as Joe Boachie’s double, including his second bicycle kick in a week, and an own goal completed Sittingbourne’s comeback victory in difficult conditions.

“I’m always confident but I think you’ve got to be respectful and understand the levels,” said Maxwell.

“I think form’s key, no matter what level you’re in.

“If you’re one level above and winning every week, you’re used to winning every week, aren’t you?

“So, if you’re not winning every week, you’re probably used to losing. I’m sure it played a part mentally.

“We’re obviously in great form and we said as a management team go and do what we’ve been doing and fully believe in it.”

Maxwell added: “We’re still coming off the back of the emotions and whatever but obviously when a team’s two leagues above you, there should be a gap in quality.

“But there wasn’t one today, and I mean that respectfully.

“It’s all about your team and where your players have come from, what ages they are.

“There’s players in my dressing room who will play
