We're looking to win so we don't have to worry about anyone else, says Neil Cugley

FOLKESTONE INVICTA complete their regular season at Chipstead tomorrow, needing only a point to clinch a place in the Ryman League Division One South play-offs for the second time in three years.

Neil Cugley’s side are in fine style and could complete their scheduled fixtures with a sixth successive victory and secure in fourth place in the table.

Their remaining rivals for a play-off spot can now only match Folkestone’s current 73 point tally and would need to win their two remaining games with Invicta also currently holding a superior goal difference.

Looking ahead to the Chipstead game, manager Cugley told www.folkestoneinvicta.co.uk: “We’ll be going there to win it then we won’t need to worry about what anyone else does.

“It’s good too, that we’ve a better goal difference. I suppose if we lost 3-0 and one of the others won 3-0 it might make a difference, but I’d like to think we’ve got a lot more about us than to let that happen.”

The manager’s confidence comes from the fact that he will have arguably the strongest squad available that he has had all season with experienced duo Lee Gledhill and Roland Edge back and available.

And first-choice keeper Jack Delo also returns from his one-match suspension.

Only Josh Vincent is currently out of action and he is progressing well and might even make the play-offs if needed.

Chipstead looked a good, well-organised side before losing 2-0 to Invicta at Cheriton Road in December thanks to two goals from James Everitt.

They themselves were in with a shout of making the play-offs until losing 3-0 at Dulwich Hamlet and 2-1 at home to Godalming Town over the Easter weekend.

Last weekend, they were beaten 3-0 away to Maidstone United - all three of those results, of course, against decent opposition.

Just before Easter they had recorded a good 5-1 victory over Burgess Hill Town and an even more impressive 4-1 win at Ramsgate.

Folkestone have never gone out to play for a draw and they are in as good form as they have been in all season following successive 4-1 victories over Crawley Down and Sittingbourne.
