Cranbrook 21-14 Maidstone
Counties 2 Kent | Tomlin Ground | Saturday, 31st October 2026
Maidstone RFC lost for the first time this season, beaten 21-14 away at Cranbrook to end a run of five straight wins. Neither club has published a written match report, and the RFU's own match centre has no scorer detail logged for this game either - just the final score. The result leaves Maidstone level on 26 points with Aylesford Bulls and Cranbrook at the top of Counties 2 Kent, but they stay first on points difference, with a healthier +174 than Aylesford's +145 and Cranbrook's +100.

East Peckham & Paddock Wood: a bye this week
