Steve Lovell is impressed with the way Herne Bay have dealt with injuries this season. Bay moved back into the Isthmian South East play-off places after beating Littlehampton 4-1 at home on Saturday.
Kane Rowland returned from injury but they were without other key men Gil Carvalho (broken thumb), Archie Burnett (knee), Bola Dawodu and Dan Carrington (both groin).
Bay have stayed competitive and head to Sheppey on Saturday (3pm) sitting fourth in the table. “We’ve had a few injuries that have come at the same time,” said boss Lovell. “But it’s nice with the depth of squad we’ve got that players have come in and performed. “We’ve got a good little squad there, a great bunch of lads and they work hard.
It’s a good blend.” Harrison Pont opened the scoring against Littlehampton. The visitors levelled but goals from Theo Osinfolarin, Mo Kamara and Frankie Smith led Bay to victory.
