Chatham Town Women beat Ebbsfleet United in the Kent Cup quarter-finals and host AFC Wimbledon this Sunday in the FA Women’s Cup Second Round

Only the best is good enough for Chatham Town Women’s boss Keith Boanas.

He’s seen Chatham pick up wins from their previous two outings - including a 3-1 victory over Ebbsfleet last Sunday in the Kent Cup quarter-finals. There are encouraging signs but he wants more.

He said: “People around the ground on Sunday were telling me that they could see the improvement and could see the change but for me that is not enough, I won’t allow players to play below what I believe is their best and I am starting to work that out.

“If I don’t see their best I won’t be happy, that is the message I will hammer home, I am not going to let them drop.

“We have got some experienced players in there with some leadership qualities and they are stepping up, they are sensing something and also seeing there is going to be competition, which is massively important.

“I have a good group of people around me, staff-wise, and the environment is changing. It goes without saying that Kevin (Hake, the chairman) and the club are really supportive and the objective is to pay them back for that support.

“There is no guarantee we are going to win every game but we have to make every effort to do that.”

Next up this Sunday is an FA Women’s Cup second round clash against AFC Wimbledon (1pm) at the Bauvill Stadium.

Chats lost 2-0 to Wimbledon earlier this season in the League Cup and were beaten by the London side in last year’s Women’s FA Cup.

Boanas, who previously led Charlton to four FA Women’s Cup finals and victory over Everton in 2005, said: “There is a bit of a revenge mission but not all the girls were involved in those games and that won’t be the focus, it has to be just get things right and making sure I put out the right team. We have every chance.
