Club captain Jamie Hoque said: “We spent two weeks preparing for Saturday’s fixture, running scenarios to try and stop Casuals’ wide attacking game.

“The 32-0 score line shows that all the hard work clearly paid off.

“It’s no accident that we are pushing for promotion this season. A combination of great coaching, hard work and commitment from the players, plus huge regular numbers at training, means we are now playing near our full potential and Saturday’s game was a prime example or that.”
