CHANNEL ISLAND CHALLENGE

GUERNSEY V CANTERBURY

Fifty points on the road, and five added to our league tally is exactly what we wanted from last Saturday. Long journeys and performing at your best is a mental challenge that we are beginning to get to grips with. This will be tested again on Saturday as we get on a plane to play Guernsey. There are still things we are working hard to improve, as there always will be, but I can really see growth in our understanding of what are the foundations of our best performance. The old cliché of the top two inches wins you games rings true for us at this point in our journey, and the players know the importance of mental preparation leading up to kick off. And can the Pilgrims keep up their fine unbeaten record in their home game with Crowborough? We are going for our third week of double wins as a squad and we know that we are going to have to be at our best on all fronts to keep on a roll.
