Worsbrough Bridge manager Ian Shirt
Ian Shirt has hailed the commitment shown by Worsbrough Bridge squad after a very positive start to the season.
Worsbrough nearly folded last season and regularly struggled to get a side out, but the whole outlook has changed under the new regime running the club.
Bridge have already eight points after six games and Shirt is delighted with the progress made.
“It is a lot better than last season, but we did expect that,” Shirt told Non League Yorkshire.
“We were a bit disappointed about the Nostell result, whereas against Shirebrook we were diabolical. That was worst than last year and I told them that and I told them it was unacceptable
“They’ve responded. We got a deserved win at Selby and then got a deserved point at Glasshoughton.
“We’re on par with our targets. If we get another win, we’ve matched our wins for last year.
“We’re getting 17 or 18 to training and we’re getting a full squad for matches which is very pleasing when you consider what went on last year.
“The lads are wanting to come and play for Worsbrough Bridge. At Glasshoughton on Tuesday, when we walked in we heard someone say ‘Glasshoughton will get seven tonight’.
“Well whoever said won’t be thinking that now.”
Worsbrough visit Rossington Main tomorrow.
