We caught up with Head Coach Garry Wright following the South Challenge Cup victory over Kilbirnie Ladeside to get his thoughts on the match and season so far…

What were your reflections on yesterday’s match? I was very pleased to get the win. It wasn’t a great performance particularly 1st half but much better 2nd half and in cup games it’s all about getting through. We do know that we need to improve however if we are going to continue to progress

There have been a number of new additions to the team over the last few weeks. How are the boys settling in? The new players are settling in very well. They are the type we want at the club, good attitudes and wanting to develop as players. They are a great group of lads as well

You obviously know John Tod and Freddie Rowe well from Dunfermline. What do you feel they can bring to the team? Both players have a big future in the game. They bring great quality and will help the squad massively 

We have a tough game coming up midweek against high flying Jeanfield Swifts. Initial thoughts on the game? Jeanfield will be a really tough challenge as they are up at the top the league. Every game in this league will be hard game, but we want to be playing the best teams. Hopefully the supporters can get right behind the team, under the lights at The Rec, and we can pick up an important three points!

Overall it’s been a tough start to the season but you must be pleased at how the team has ground out a couple of great results over the last few weeks. As we head into November, and face teams in and around us in the league, are you setting any targets? It’s definitely been a tough start but I didn’t think it would ever be easy. I think we have been unlucky with injuries but despite this been competitive in most games. What we have seen though is at this level, against good teams, you don’t get away with mistakes.
