Manager Paul Collicutt believes there are good times ahead for Evesham United as they prepare to kick-off the new campaign writes Steve Carley of the Worcester News.
The Robins visit Fleet Town today (3pm) for their Southern League Division One South and West opener.
Evesham finished in the lower reaches of the division last season but have added eight players to the squad, including former Swindon Supermarine striker Ashley Edenborough, ex-Stourbridge midfielder Aaron Drake and former Cirencester midfielder Sean Wood.
Following a nine-game pre-season of mixed results, Collicutt feels his players are ready to make their mark.
However, he will be without last season’s top-scorer Lance Smith for the Fleet match as he is on holiday.
The Evesham boss said: “We have had a reasonable pre-season and I am happy with the way we have gone about our business and everything is there for tomorrow.
“I can only see the side getting better. I am not setting any targets, all I will say is I am hoping I have got a bunch of lads that are prepared to work hard for me and Evesham and are proud to wear the shirt.
“I am hopeful we have got a squad that will go on to better things but we will wait and see.”
