Hythe boss Steve Watt says his side know what it takes to reach Isthmian South East play-offs

Manager Steve Watt says there’s no side better prepared than Hythe for the Isthmian South East play-off run-in.

The Cannons underlined their potential with a dominant 4-0 home win over East Grinstead on Saturday.

Jack Steventon, Jason Fregene, Frannie Collin and Ethan Smith were the scorers.

“Easter is an important time of year most seasons but even more so this year.

“If we come out of those two games with a minimum of four points we
