Club boss happy after first pre-season training session
Nye Camp chief Robbie Blake believes the Rocks are in good shape heading in to the new Isthmian premier division campaign. And he says he was "really pleased" with the application from his charges at the first pre-season training session.
Blake and assistant manager Jamie Howell put the players through their paces at East Dean FC on Friday night as they build up to the first summer friendly at Littlehampton Town next Monday.
Established players such as Craig Robson and Calvin Davies were put through their paces alongside new boys Taylor Seymour, Sam De St Croix, Tom Chalaye and Joe Rabbetts. And with more players due to hook up with the squad for more sessions next week, Blake feels in optimistic mood about the season ahead while admitting he is looking to add more new faces to his group.
He said: "The lads worked very hard and showed great desire and a willingness to listen and learn. Overall we are really pleased with the condition of the players and they looked sharp and on their game. We've got players to come in from holiday and we are working hard to attract a few more players. We're in good shape and really looking forward to the big kick-off."
