The 1s currently sit bottom of the Northern BUCS prem after a difficult start to the season. Injury’s have played a big role in availability and made Head coach Adam Furness life difficult when trying to select his best starting XI. The results so far have been mixed, a few narrow defeat’s to Loughborough and Newcastle took a lot of of the lads after giving everything in both games and were on the end of some questionable decisions. However, the performances have been improving game by game. The performances against Nottingham Trent have been indicator’s of the potential the squad has when all players are back fit. Our home victory Vs Trent was a real statement of how our lads apply themselves to the style of of play head coach Adam Furness implements at the University.
There’s been plenty of positives and negatives during the first half the season; 3 big games after Christmas all at home will define the lads season.
We caught up with Jack Camarda to give us his thoughts on the year so far:
“It’s been a tricky start to the season for the lads, however I’m confident we can get the job done going into the remaining 3 games at home. With the games being at Maiden castle this should give us the advantage over the teams we are playing. It will suite our style of play and I’m confident we will get the results we need. There’s been plenty of positives during this term, the squad is in a transition period - we lost a lot of players last year and we are rebuilding this year. Everyone has applied themselves brilliantly and showed we are capable of beating anyone is this league. Our final 3 games are massive, especially our charity game Vs Newcastle. It would be great to see as many people down supporting us in these games to help us get the points we need.”
