Jay Saunders appreciates the trust placed in him by the board as Tonbridge fight for a National South play-off spot. A 2-1 victory at Dulwich last weekend extended Angels’ unbeaten run to seven games in league and cup.

Jordan Greenidge and Joe Turner’s deflected strike earned the win that moved Saunders’ side on to 47 points, surpassing last season’s tally of 45 with 15 games still to play.

Tonbridge made the difficult decision to sack promotion-winning manager Steve McKimm after eight years in charge last summer and replace him with Saunders as they began a new era on their 3G pitch.

The former Maidstone and Margate boss made big changes to the squad who stayed up last season and has Tonbridge in play-off contention.
