He said: “We’ve got Chichester on Saturday, they’ve grown stronger as the season has gone on but we are confident, we should be at full strength and our captain Tom Gillespie will be

back so we will go in with confidence.

“We won’t take Chichester for granted even though we beat them at the start of the season, we just want to try and make it four wins in a row on Saturday.”
