Tonbridge Angels manager Alan Dunne on his side’s 2-1 National League South derby success at Maidstone United

Tonbridge boss Alan Dunne described Sean Shields’ derby winner at Maidstone as one of his best moments in football.

Dunne loved the joy Shields’ 98th-minute strike brought to almost 350 travelling fans as Angels won a league game against their local rivals for the first time since 2014.

The boss got caught up in the moment as Tonbridge celebrated their 2-1 win at the Gallagher Stadium.

Dunne played hundreds of games for Millwall during a successful playing career but there was something about a National League South Kent derby that got him as Shields’ fierce strike hit the back of the net.

“I don’t know what happened,” said Dunne. “I think I did one of the Klopp celebrations, running down the side.

“That’s what football’s about.

“I came out of it for six months and I really missed having that feeling of winning a game of football.

“I’ve played in some big games and won some big games but today, seeing the staff and all that it means to them and the people, it really shows how important these games are.

“I’m just proud to have given them something back.

“To see it in the net, and then the eruption, it’s up there as one of the best moments I’ve had in football.”

Eddie Simon’s header shortly after half-time gave Tonbridge the lead but Hamzad Kargbo levelled in the 90th minute.

With seven minutes of added time up, there was a late twist when substitute Shields, playing just his second game after six months out with a knee injury, ran on to Matty Warren’s pass and crashed home the winner off the post.

Who fancies seeing the Shields winner again?
