A warm welcome to the staff, players and committee of Abingdon to BHP for today's Hellenic League Game

The reverse fixture was only our second game in the league, back in August which Abingdon won 10 late in the game. I felt on the night that a draw was a fair result, but Abingdon have shown this season that they are a good who are in the playoff mix

At the time of writing this, we go into another big last 16 cup tie at Cirencester Dev, on the back of a good point in our local derby against FC Stratford. We haven't lost back to back league games since August, so the progress in terms of being much more stable and resilient is there for all to see The next part of this team's development is to play with the quality I know we have more consistently I would say we are one of the most hardworking teams in the league, and a lot of teams have commented on how organised we have become. To win these fine margin games, or really think about being a top 6 team, we have to play with more quality week in week out. For us to finish in the top half and get to a cup final, we will need real moments of quality and manage key moments in games much better.

Today's game should be another great advert for the league

Enjoy the game.
