WORDS // RHIAN TILLEY
Ricky Barby is a familiar name to most Southam supporters, but he hopes we’ll be seeing his name even more this season. The starting XI stalwart discusses having a point to prove against Garsington, aiming to improve his goal tally and the friendly rivalry he and brother, Simon, share on the pitch. Four matches into the 2021/22 season and its been a mixed bag as far as team performances and results. How are you feeling about where the team is right now? I’m happy with where we are at the minute. The team is still gelling together and we can only get better. We sit in a good position and hope to compete at the very top. Last weekend the team showed impressive character in bouncing back from a tough loss to Summertown and in turn inflicting 5 away goals on Garsington. Did it feel a bit like you had a point to prove? Yeah, definitely. We wanted to get a good result, especially after losing and hopefully start a good run of form and keep the winning mentality going. You personally scored the first two goals and picked up Player of the Match. How did it feel on the day?
Its always good to get on the score-sheet, and of course to get Man of the Match, but for me its more important that the team gets the 3 goals. Did this match against Garsington feel a bit like a must-win fixture? Something to really get the season started for Southam
