quit Town after scoring nearly 50 goals in more than 100
appearances

Ashford are literally homing
in on preserving their Ryman League Division 1 South status.
They face 12 games in the next five weeks – nine at Homelands
and only three away – with boss Steve Lovell boosted by the luxury
of a full squad for the run-in.

Burgess Hill on Saturday and Lovell said: "We have performed well
since Christmas and have got back to the sort of strength I have
wanted all season.
"We have had a lot of injuries to
influential players and it’s no coincidence that we have put a good
run together."
However, the club have said
farewell to striker Paul Jones, who told Lovell he was leaving last
week.
The 29-year-old striker, who has
scored nearly 50 goals for the club in more than 100 games spanning
two spells, cited personal reasons, and Lovell said: "It’s always
disappointing when you lose any player.
"I respect his decision and wished
him all the best but we have to get on it with it.
"He has been out injured and hasn’t
had the best of times and has also had a new addition to the
family, which is also keeping him busy. Paul will probably be back
playing next season, maybe with us or elsewhere."
