Ramsgate midfielder Billy Munday explains how he’s enjoying life under new boss Ady Pennock, scoring more goals in an advanced role, and why there’s more to come from the squad

Ramsgate midfielder Billy Munday is enjoying working for new manager Ady Pennock.

Former Gillingham and Dartford boss Pennock took charge at Southwood in the close season.

It’s been a stop-start campaign, especially fixture-wise in the past fortnight, but with three wins in their last four games, the signs are encouraging for Ramsgate.

“I think Ady’s a really great guy and I’ve enjoyed playing under him these last three or so months,” said Munday.

“I don’t think we’ve had a bad start to the season, but I think we could have more.

“That might just be because we’ve all got high standards, Ady’s got high standards, Roland Edge (assistant manager) has high standards, so does Dave Winfield, the skipper.

“We all want to go out and win every game, but I feel like there’s been games this season where we should have got something out of it and we didn’t.

“We could have maybe four or five points extra on our tally at the minute, but I think we’ve started well apart from that.

“It’s very encouraging considering we’re all a new squad. It was a big reshuffle from the end of last season and obviously a new management team and a lot of new players.

“It’s a big group but we’ve got an unbelievable bunch of lads, they’re good lads, we all get on well. We had a team night out in London last week so it just shows that we’re together and stuff like that helps on the pitch, too.”

After welcoming his first daughter in March and with Pennock keen to switch the club’s training base to the other end of the county, Munday feared he might need to move on.

But he’s been able to strike the balance between football and family life, praising the manager’s understanding.

“Ady’s a great guy, I think he set his standards out straight away,” said Munday.
