FA Cup Third Round: Gillingham FC 1 Stoke City 3
Andy Hessenthaler's Gillingham side put on a courageous display in today's FA Cup Third Round tie, but the chance of a Cup run was extinguished by high flying Premiership side Stoke City. With the game only being confirmed yesterday due to a row over policing in the Priestfield Stadium, it was an uncertain return to the club by former manager Tony Pulis, who took Gillingham to Wembley in the 1999 League Two Play Off final. He was... -

Medway RFC Development Squad start season with a win
The Medway Rugby Club Development Squad has enjoyed success over the last two seasons, winning their league convincingly last season. But promotion will bring tougher, bigger, fitter and younger opposition this term and with a number of changes in key positions, the young Medway side face a tough season.

Gillingham FC drop out of play off zone
Gillingham FC are in danger of missing out on a play off place in League 2, following a pretty tragic performance yesterday. The diabolical result of losing 4-2 at home to second from bottom of the league Barnet, means that the Gills need to get major results from their remaining games - away to Rotherham tomorrow, who are right behind them, then at home to Macclesfield, currently picking up good results, with a final away... -
