Faversham Town manager Sammy Moore wants his team to remain at the top of the Southern Counties East Premier Division

Faversham Town boss Sammy Moore is happy to be in the firing line.

Moore’s squad returned to the top of the Southern Counties East Premier Division on Saturday with a comfortable 2-0 win at lowly Welling Town.

They’re two points clear of Glebe - who could regain top spot tonight as they play 24 hours before Faversham in midweek - with a game in hand.

While some managers dismiss the importance of the league table at this stage of the campaign, claiming they don’t even look at it, Moore is embracing the challenge of setting the pace. If they do, then they are on course to win promotion at the first attempt.

“You probably don’t look at the table at the start of the season but when people say it now, then I probably don’t believe that,” said Moore.

“I’ve been a player and now being a manager, you want to look at it - you want to be at the top and you want teams to chase you.

“We’re there to be shot at but I want us to stay there now. I want us to be consistent.

“We went eight league games in a row when we won and we’re now three wins in a row so we’re starting another little mini-run.

“If we can do that every quarter of the season then you’re going to be well away. We’ve got to stay away from injuries and keep hungry.

“We’ve got a points target that we want to get to by Christmas, we’re well on target for that. Last Saturday was just another game for us that has been ticked off and we look forward to the next one.

“We had two games in hand and we have to win them. If we do that then we go five points clear. We’ve done the first part, we knew Glebe weren’t playing in the league, so it was important that we went top of the league first and foremost.

“We’ve put in a good performance, got the three points and we can go home and
