TERRY
CORDICE looked ahead to Saturday's first home game of the season
against SevenoaksTown and insisted:
These are the games we must win.
Faversham
Town boss Cordice was bitterly disappointed to see last week's
opener at home to VCD Athletic fall victim to the torrential rain
that hit east Kent on Saturday.
But
he quickly switched his focus to SevenoaksTown who made an
encouraging start to the season with a 1-1 draw against Greenwich
Borough on Saturday.
Sevenoaks
finished rock-bottom of the Kent League last season with just 14
points and Cordice sees no reason why his rookies cannot secure
victory.
Cordice,
speaking before last night's trip to HerneBay, insisted: "I
mean no disrespect at all to Sevenoaks when I say that this is
a game where I feel we can take all three points.
"I've
mentioned before the teams I feel will be up there come
the end of the season with Thamesmead, Erith and Belvedere,
HerneBay and Whitstable
all in with a shout but I wouldn't put Sevenoaks in the same
bracket.
"The
way I see it is that we should be looking to pick up wins
against teams like Sevenoaks while hoping to snatch a few
points against the big boys.
"Having
said all that, we will show them every respect. We're all
looking forward to a great game."
Referee
Richard Joss had little option but to call off Saturday's game
with the pitch under water in places.
IT'S ALL GONE PRONG...but even coach Paul Copley's efforts could
not prevent Saturday's game being cancelled
Cordice
said: "I have to agree that it was the right decision. I
suppose he could have given it another half hour because it was
playable then but there you go. These decisions have to be taken.
"I
am just sorry for the fans. I hope we can treat them to some good
football against Sevenoaks this weekend."
Chairman
Bob Mason revealed that the visiting officials from VCD Athletic had
presented Town with an engraved commemorative salver to mark the
re-born club's first Kent League game.
He
said: "It was a fabulous gesture and the salver will have pride
of place in the clubhouse.
"It
was very disappointing to have the game called off but if Saturday
is anything to go by, we are going to enjoy making a lot of new
friends in the Kent League."
Saturday's
game against Sevenoaks at Salters Lane kicks off at 3pm.
