“To continue this race we will need a bit of luck, a good performance and I hope the points continue.
“No one has ever played New Years Day at our level before, so it’s going to be a new one. I think I’ll have to make a call in the morning!
“Wareham will be in the same position. It’s gonna be a little different, not your normal Saturday.
“Wareham will give everything they have, I’m pretty sure. We didn’t have everything our way when we beat them at home earlier in the season.
“We expect a tough game, but we’re in good shape, confidence is high and we want to continue next year.”
