SWINDON SUPERMARINE | FULLY FOCUSSED

Skipper Ryan Campbell has his eyes on the prize

Saturday’s come-from-behind victory made it five games unbeaten for Swindon Supermarine as their climb up the Pitching In Southern League Premier South table.

The Wiltshire outfit now sit seventh, just a couple of points and places off the play-off zone.

“We started the season poorly,” admitted skipper, Ryan Campbell, who broke through the 300-appearance mark for the club earlier this season. “We had quite a few new faces come in over the summer, so it took a little while for us to gel, but recently things have really started to click into place and we’ve hit some good form.

“I think we’re fifth in the current form table, so it’s a case of keeping this momentum going for as long as we can.

“We knew how tough this League would be; there are some really strong teams involved this year and it’s nice to see us sitting seventh as opposed to this time last year when we were in the relegation zone.

“The League is the most competitive that it’s been in a few years, so that makes our current position even more impressive. There are shock results week in, week out and you have to be on your game in every minute of every game or else you will get found out.

“We’ve got a really good mood within the camp right now. Being in form always helps in that, of course, but we’re fully focussed and trying not to listen to any outside noise.

“We keep everything in-house; we know what we are capable of and we know where we want to be. Our aim is to ensure that we achieve that goal.

“There’s still a lot of football to be played and we will keep ticking games off one-by-one. For me personally I will be looking to contribute to us winning football matches. Keeping clean sheets is just as important as scoring goals so I want to be able to play my part at both ends of the field.

“If I can do that, then my job will be done.”

A mouth-watering trip to AFC Totton awaits on Saturday.
