Stones Boss Owes His Midfielder.... £100!

Ryan Sellers notched six minutes before half-time but the boss was perhaps celebrating a little less than usual.

The pair had a pre-match wager with the midfielder confident he would hit the back of the net.

He was as good as his word, grabbing the opening goal in the 2-1 win at Park View Road as the Stones’ good form continued against a Wings side who were on a great winning run themselves.

It was the Stones’ first away win of the season and they are now hovering just outside the Vanarama National League South play-off places.

“That’s £100 I owe him!” said Wilkinson. “He said he would score and he did so I’ve got to cough up. He doesn’t score often so I thought it was a safe bet but he’s come up with the goods.

“A lot has been said about the away form but against a club going so well it was a fantastic result. My first away win of the season as well, so it was a nice feeling on Saturday.

“I said after the game that I’m really proud of the boys, I’m leading them but it’s all about them. We’re getting things right at the moment, they are giving me everything.”

There’s no game for Wealdstone on Saturday so the boss is planning something a bit different.

“We’re having bonding day - no day off!” he said. “It’s important to keep the group together as in the league it’s Hungerford next, we’ll prepare but we know they’re raise their game.

“I won’t stop or sleep properly until we bring success to this football club and we’ll look at every way we can to make that happen.”
