Maidenhead ended a 13-match winless streak in the National League by hanging on to edge out Eastleigh and move off the bottom of the table.

After claiming two wins from their opening four fixtures, Maidenhead had spiralled in recent weeks but they made a bright start and went ahead when Remy Clerima netted following a goalmouth scramble.

The hosts were two up inside 15 minutes as Casey Pettit was upended in the area and Ashley Nathaniel-George slotted home from the spot.

However, Maidenhead also held a 2-0 lead in midweek at Aldershot but lost 4-2, and hearts would have been in mouths after half-time when Scott Quigley headed home at the back post.

But Reece Smith's deft footwork and fine finish restored the two-goal cushion and even though Quigley curled home deep into stoppage time, Maidenhead held on to secure a first win in the league since 19 August.
