NEEDHAM MARKET | FEELING THE LOVE

Marketmen back in pole position

Needham Market marched back to the top of the Pitching In Southern League Premier Central table with an emphatic 5-0 victory over local rivals, Leiston, on Tuesday evening.

Dylan Williams marked his return to the starting line-up with a goal on what was a good night’s work.

“It was a nice finish,” he told Drew Kendall. “It was a good bit of play down the wing and a good cut-back as well.

“I was happy to get on the score sheet and happy to have got the three points.

“The lads were brilliant all over the park. It's been a long time coming to be fair, a result like that. We've had some hard fixtures but the lads have done well.

“The pitch was heavy and cutting up as the game went on, but we still managed to play some nice football and we were relentless.

“We could have easily won by an even bigger margin. It's always hard when you go in 3-0 at half-time. It's quite easy to say, go on, go out in the second half and score loads more, but to be fair, they didn't throw the towel in straight away in the early second half. They dug deep and made it tough for us, but we soaked up the pressure and our quality showed.”
Williams admitted that he’s not looking at the League table, just taking things one game at a time.

“I think it’s the best way to approach things otherwise you can get caught up in it, especially when you've got games in hand, because you've actually got to go and win those games in hand.

“We’ve got a good squad here and we know what we have to do.”

The Marketmen are back at home on Saturday with the visit of Long Eaton United.
