TERRY CORDICE believes Faversham Town can cap their debut season in the
Kent League with a top five finish.
Boss Cordice is upbeat despite suffering a fourth straight pre-season
defeat on Saturday with the Lilywhites missing out on the Bob Amor
Memorial Cup 3-0 at Sittingbourne.
But he has seen enough of his new-look side to predict a rookie
campaign of more highs than lows starting with the visit of
highly-fancied VCD Athletic on 12 August and followed by a difficult
trip to Herne Bay on the Tuesday.
Cordice said: "It's vital that we make a good start but I can see no
reason why we can't finish in the top four or five.
"Maidstone were the stand-out side last season but they have gone now
and the money has dried up at Beckenham so they will not be so strong.
"It leaves a league with Thamesmead among the favourites along with
Herne Bay, Whitstable and VCD. If we can get off to a decent start then
I am sure we will be up there."
Cordice will be hoping his strikers can enjoy some much-needed
shooting practice when Town entertain Eastbourne Fishermen at Salters
Lane on Sunday (kick-off 2.30pm).
