Boss Nick Davis has challenged Sittingbourne to finish the season with a flourish after going through March unbeaten.

They will be tested over the Easter weekend with a trip to Guernsey on Saturday (1pm) followed by a derby against Faversham at Woodstock Park on Monday (3pm).

Davis said: “It was a big deal to finish March unbeaten. It’s the first time all season we’ve gone through a month without losing.

“I know we drew four of the five games but we could easily have won four. We’ve conceded three goals in that time.

“We’ve not scored as many as some people would like but we are playing an attacking formation with two-up front and one in behind and looking to create chances.

“I was asked to sort the home form out which I think we’ve done as we’re five unbeaten at Woodstock. I’m well pleased with how things are going.

“We’re on 49 points now. It would be nice if we could get to 61, like we’ve done for the last two years. It’s a tough ask to take 12 points from six games but let’s have a go.”

Connor Leon is set to be the only player missing when Brickies board their 8.30am flight from Gatwick to the Channel Islands.

It still upsets some people that Guernsey are allowed to play in Ryman League, Division 1 South but Davis isn’t one of them.

He said: “We’ve been preparing for the trip for three weeks, getting names and making sure passports are in date.

“It’s a long day but it’s something out of the ordinary and we’re looking forward to it.

“I certainly enjoyed going there last year, playing in front of 700 people.

“We’ve got 16 players together. It’s a shame we won’t have Connor because Guernsey are a footballing side and I’d imagine the pitch will be half-decent, which would suit his game.”

Faversham, meanwhile, are looking to secure second place for home advantage in the play-off semi-final and final.

Davis said: “We’ve had a tough run of games against teams with something to play for, be it throwing money around to try and stay up or going for the play-offs.

“Second place is important to Faversham as it would keep them at home through the play-offs.

“They’re a good side and, being a derby and a bank holiday, I hope the crowd will be up around the 150-200 mark.”
