Our ambition is to finish in the top four and take it from there. The first objective is to get off to a good start, then gradually improve the quality of the team.

Comments: Clive Marshall, (Manager): "In terms of preparation I think we've done fairly well. I think we're on track, we're not necessarily where we'd want to be because we had an extended season and had to give the players some rest, so we started a little late. We've a fairly balanced team to start the league, we've players with Premier League and national experience. With that experience I expect us to have a fairly good start. The feeling is that we will compete. We're not going in with expectations to win the league, but we'll compete and try our best to amass as many points as possible."
