NPL Division One East
Neil Sibson says Yorkshire Amateur plan to finish the season on a high note.
The Ammers are up to ninth after two wins in three – which includes the outstanding defeat of previously unbeaten Liversedge – and Sibson is hopeful of a positive end to the campaign.
“We have turned it around and we still have a game-in-hand on teams around us,” Sibson told Non League Yorkshire.
“Our aim this year was to consolidate and hopefully get in the top ten.
“After two wins on the bounce we are looking to push on towards the play-offs.
“We still have the chance and we’re getting bodies back and we may make a couple of signings.
“We have a good group and they’ve done well.
“We believe in them.
“We have had a bad start to the season in terms of injuries and suspensions like every club and we have got through it.
“We’ll see where it takes us.
“We have played all the top teams away and we have a really good record at home.
“All the top teams have to come here and hopefully we can take points off them and move up the table.
“We want to finish as strongly as possible.”
The Ammers host Dunston next Saturday and Sibson says he was extremely pleased with the Liversedge win just over ten days ago.
“It was a fantastic result,” he said.
“For me, in football a lot is down to psychology, i.e. ‘we’re playing Liversedge, they’re top and unbeaten in the league in two years, we’re going to raise our game’.
“We did really well and we were proud of the lads and the effort.
“In the last three games we have beaten Stocksbridge Park Steels and Liversedge and we lost to Worksop.
“We targeted six points from the nine and we have achieved our aim.”
