“We went into this game after two losses and a draw and playing opposition on a good bit of form and just behind us in the league.

“We knew we had some key players out in Lewis Taylor, Lewis Finney, Reggie Ward and Conrad Honore and if Corinthian had won they’d have leapfrogged us in the league position.

“The boys we brought in did a great and one, Charlie Kelly, scored the only goal of the game. I was really pleased for Charlie, he has trained brilliantly for the past four weeks or so and deserved that start.

“We defended very well and gave them no clear-cut opportunities.

“We have another big game Saturday verses a good side in Herne Bay.”
