Reaction from manager Ryan Maxwell as Sittingbourne claim the Bob Amor Cup with 4-1 victory at Faversham Town

Sittingbourne regained the Bob Amor Cup with an impressive 4-1 victory at Swale rivals Faversham on Saturday.

It may have been a pre-season game but there was silverware on the line and the Brickies wanted to take it home after last year’s defeat.

Boss Ryan Maxwell made wholesale changes at half-time but the Brickies were comfortable winners at Salters Lane.

Ayman El Morgharbel opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark and new signing Codey Cosgrave made it two with a classy free-kick.

Henry Sinai stretched the lead with a lovely run and finish in the second half and Mitchell May added number four before Frannie Collin’s late reply.

“It was a good day for us on Saturday,” said Maxwell.

“We were focused in the main on giving players 45 minutes.

“I wanted to have a look at some things and change the shape, so I wasn’t too sure what it would look like, but it went well.

“We were very good in possession.

“The 3G surface was there to be enjoyed and I made sure the players did that but I also said it would be nice to take the cup back to Sittingbourne as well, so please bear that in mind.

“There were some really good individual performances and I was pleased the dynamic of the team and those relationships have built up pretty quickly it seems.

“We’re in a good place at the moment as far as pre-season preparations goes.”

A number of new signings caught the eye, not least Cosgrave with the quality of his free-kick.

Maxwell said: “As with all young players, there will be little dips but that’s fine.

“He certainly has ability - that’s why I brought him here - and I wasn’t overly surprised he
