Manager's Reflections
“The midweek win against Whitchurch was a complete performance. We moved the ball so well and our opponents couldn’t live with us. Every time we went forward it looked like we were going to score,” said Manager Mike O’Reilly.
“A real positive aspect of this season has been our fitness levels. The amount of goals we seem to score in the latter period of matches is really pleasing and shows all the hard work we put in at training but also the lads individual work away from the club.”
New Signing
The squad has been further boosted by the signing of forward Zach Lea from local rivals Shrewsbury Up & Comers, reuniting him with Manager O'Reilly at Beech Grove.
