Woodford coach knows his troops are in for a tough final test
6:21pm Friday 18th April 2008
WOODFORD coach Peter Christey believes his troops will have to find their best form if they are to end the season on a high in their final fixture of the campaign.
The Highams men face a Staines side, who confirmed their place in the play-off's with a convincing win over Tabard last weekend. And while his own side secured an excellent derby day victory with a 0-29 win at Eton Manor last Saturday to end any lingering doubts about relegation, Christey is well aware of Staines strengthens having seen them win the corresponding fixture 46-14 in November.
He said: "Staines are the best side that we have faced this season.
They are a well organised squad with both quality players up front and in the three quarters, who can play with power and pace.
"For my boys to take the points on Saturday everyone will have to play to there full potential and we will have to take points when on offer."
