AW: To WIN! But also to continue to push teams and clubs that see us as the underdogs and
continually put out performances that we are proud of, both individually and as a club.
WSS: Billericay Town and Hashtag United are setting a hot pace at the top of
the table with yourselves just behind, do you see these two as the main
contenders or can you see someone else joining them?
AW: There have been some interesting results in the league already. It is early in the season
to rule anyone out, a few wins can push you right up the table but we are definitely aiming
to finish the season towards the top of the table.
