Northern League: Still more to come from Boldon CA ahead of Billingham Town test
Boldon CA will face Billingham Town in a battle of two sides with perfect records in Northern League Division Two so far this season.
Joint-manager Chris Spence believes in-form Boldon CA have ‘a few more gears to go’ as they prepare to host Billingham Town in a battle of two sides looking to preserve perfect starts to the season.
A new look Boldon made it four wins in as many games when Henry Harvey’s first-half goal helped them claim a narrow home win against Northern League newcomers Stokesley SC on Tuesday night and ensured they will head into Saturday’s home game on a high.
However, their visitors will arrive on South Tyneside with serious momentum after they secured maximum points from away days at Seaham Red Star and FC Hartlepool and home games with Grangetown Boys Club and Darlington Town.
With a major test lying in wait this weekend, Spence has admitted he is ‘absolutely delighted’ with an impressive first fortnight to the season - but insisted there is more to come from his players as they look to extend their eye-catching start to the campaign.
He told The Gazette: “Me and Keaton still feel there are a few more gears to go yet. We haven’t really shown our best football, which is probably the most pleasing thing. We know it’s still very early, it’s a long season ahead and there’s plenty of work to do. But we are absolutely delighted with the start and it’s credit to every single one of the lads they’ve been brilliant.”
Boldon have a strong squad available for the game - but their visitors will be without the suspended Chukwuka Unigwe after he received a red card in last Saturday’s home win against Darlington Town.
