SHOLING | BLOWN AWAY

Recent arrival shines as Boatmen sail to victory

Recent arrival, Michael Folivi, is up-and-running in no uncertain terms at Sholing.

The former Watford youngster hit all four goals as his side chalked up a much-needed 4-1 away win at Bracknell Town on Saturday in the Pitching In Southern League Premier South.

“What a difference a week makes,” he said with a smile. “The previous weekend was extremely frustrating as we lost at home to Winchester City; it just wouldn’t happen for us but then on Saturday it was a great performance in really difficult conditions.

“I wanted to get off the mark as quickly as possible, so to get all four goals, I am absolutely buzzing!

“I enjoyed it out there. I know what I can bring to this team; in the build-up to the game I was speaking to Rabbs [Joe Rabbetts] about where I wanted the ball and with supply like that, it makes everything a whole lot easier.

“We had a really productive classroom session on Thursday where I was able to learn about our style of play in the final third and the things we spoke about, we were able to put into practice on Saturday, so credit to the coaching staff.

“There’s such a good team spirit here. We stuck to our plan and kicked on in the second half to get a deserved win and now we have to look to build on it and take this into the busy run of games that lie ahead for us.”

Folivi is a product of the Watford youth ranks. He has gone on to turn out for the likes of Colchester United, Chelmsford City, Farnborough and Hemel Hempstead Town.

At the start of the current campaign he joined newly-promoted Enfield Town before having a brief spell at Chesham United, from where he moved on to the Boatmen at the end of November.

This Saturday sees them in home action against Plymouth Parkway.
