Strikers Johan Caney-Bryan and Tashi-Jay Kwayie praised by Faversham Town manager Tommy Warrilow for respective red-hot starts to the season

Strikers Johan Caney-Bryan and Tashi-Jay Kwayie have earned praise from Faversham manager Tommy Warrilow for their respective red-hot starts to the season.

Both again found the target in title-chasing Southern Counties East Premier Division Town’s 3-1 home win against Stansfeld last weekend, with Kwayie sealing the victory after Caney-Bryan had bagged a brace.

Kwayie is the division’s top scorer with 10 goals this season while Caney-Bryan has seven to his name in the league - and 10 across all competitions.

Warrilow said: “Both of them chipped in on Saturday.

“Johan’s work-rate is second to none. I’m glad he got a couple of goals because he would have been disappointed that he didn’t score against Larkfield (in last Tuesday’s 1-0 home defeat).

“What you don’t want them to do is pile pressure on themselves. He deserves his goals because of the work that he does. Tash has chipped in, as well.

“Since the start of the season, both of them have been different gear. They work their socks off and they’re getting the goals.

“It’s frustrating for the lads that are out of the side but, all the while they’re doing what they are doing, it’s hard to leave them out.”

Caney-Bryan drew first blood at Salters Lane in the second minute and midfielder Sam Hasler had a penalty saved before Stansfeld made it 1-1 by half-time.

“It was a good performance,” said Warrilow, who handed midfielder Jarred Trespaderne his debut off the substitutes’ bench.

“They’re another decent side that, if they had won last Wednesday, they would have just been one point outside the play-offs.

“We went 1-0 up and failed to score a penalty, and then they equalised.

“We told the players at half-time to not try so hard. Sometimes, the harder you try, the worse it
