CAPTAIN'S THOUGHTS
What was the feeling of the team before the Winslow game?
I think I can speak for most of the players and say that most of us were certainly nervous about the game. I think we were excited to get the season started after a busy pre-season but apprehensive about putting in a good team performance in front of the Ampthill faithful.
You came out 3-1 winners, it must be great to get off to a winning start?
A winning start was very important for us especially if we are to achieve anything this year. We must keep in touch with the early pace setters and get up the right end of the table.
It looked like our fitness level was far superior to Winslow’s, do you agree?
The game was played at a very high tempo and I was surprised at how quickly Winslow started. Some first games of the season can be quite lethargic but this was all action, huffing and puffing, blood and sweat. We are a better team playing like this and we need to get this in to all our games whether the opposition are good or poor.
What was the mood after the game?
The changing room was great after the game and all the lads were buzzing having won the game and getting those first 3 points under our belts. I was well chuffed for Stu who scored a fantastic hatrick after not having scored in pre-season. In fact we were still talking about it at 12.30am in the Indian in Stony High Street.
With a big game coming up against your old side New Bradwell St Peter on
Tuesday, how do you see the game going?
This is going to be an interesting one. I am looking forward to going back, especially as it is so close to where I live. They lost 2-1 to Harpenden at the weekend and they will not want to lose this one especially with the management and majority of the players coming back to face them. I believe they have a new squad of players, mainly made up of ex Old Bradwell players but have strengthened it with players who have stayed with the club from last year. I am sure these players will be extremely keen to get one over on us, but I am sure we can put in a performance good enough to come away with all 3 points.

Coach’s Comments
The website catches up with coach, Steve Mahoney, who gives his insight to Pre-season training.
All the players are enjoying and reacting well to all the new training methods, including the food and recovery stuff.
They are working hard, their attitude is great, injuries have been minimal. We are looking in great shape, with five or six players still to come back into the squad.
There are a few reserves that are knocking on the door of the first team, which is making a great competition for places. There is a great buzz around the club after our first win on Saturday and it seems like everyone’s hard work is paying off. Let’s hope we can carry on our winning ways this Tuesday away to New Bradwell St Peter.
