Ray Turner pushes Faversham Town players hard in training

Faversham manager Ray Turner has been pushing his players
in training this week – even though he expects another blank
afternoon on Saturday.
The Lilywhites’ game at Burgess Hill fell victim to the weather
at the weekend and this Saturday’s match with Ramsgate at Salters
Lane looks likely to follow suit, with Turner saying: "There’s
probably three inches of snow on the pitch and I don’t see it
thawing any time soon.
"But I pulled the players in for training on Tuesday and had
them running in the snow, as I believe that hard work pays
dividends in the end.
"It’s important to keep the players ticking over in this
situation because if you don’t they can be off the pace when they
start playing again."
The Burgess Hill game has been rearranged for Tuesday, February
21, and the reserve team’s Kent Intermediate Cup home quarter-final
against Ramsgate, which was also postponed on Saturday, has been
rescheduled for the same night.
"It’s not ideal, but that’s what happens when you get games
postponed after Christmas, you haven’t got a lot of time to fit
them in," said Turner (pictured).
If Saturday’s game does go ahead, Turner plans to include new
signing Sam Robinson in his squad.
He said: "Sam has played for Met Police and Merstham and can
help us out in central midfield, which is an area where I have been
looking to bring in some more bodies."
