Table topping Nuneaton Borough’s manager Brendan Phillipps delivered his half-term report today and generally the message was:

"Keep up the good work."

Borough face a tough four matches in eight days over the holiday period and Phillips is driving on his players to greater glories.

They have a thirteen points cushion at the top of the league but he says:

"Gresley Rovers have games in hand and if they win them they are right on our heels.

"We also have to play all our main rivals in the second half of the season, some of them twice, so there is a long way to go yet."

It is at this stage of the season when games come fast furious that players’ tired limbs can succumb to injuries. It is the club with the strongest squad which often does best and Phillips has added to his sided by signing front player Andy Kirkup from Raunds Town.

"He provides us with important cover in the front positions and in the wide areas so he is a very useful acquisition ."

said Phillips.
