Park coach Kibble wants more of the same
Foiled: Stout defence holds up a Park attack David Whittam
Foiled: Stout defence holds up a Park attack David Whittam

Chris Kibble has urged Rosslyn Park to maintain their current form and finish the season on a high.

Park's recent free-scoring attitude continued at the weekend with a thrilling 32-24 home win over Barking, a result that hoisted them closer to mid-table in National League Three South.

And their coach was delighted with his side's new-found flair.

Kibble said: "We really want to keep this momentum going.

"The guys are starting to play with a bit more confidence and it is great to see.

"We struggled for confidence earlier in the season so the turnaround has been pleasing.

"Mid-table sides often tend to meander to the end of the season and we are very eager not to do that."

Saturday's win came courtesy of tries from Chris Ritchie (two) and Ed Lewis-Pratt, with 17 points from the boot of Richard Mahoney, and left Kibble beaming.

He said: "The first half was some of the best rugby we have put together for quite a while.

"It looks like it was a ding-dong battle on paper but we were in the driving seat for pretty much the whole game.

"Our driving play worked very well and I always thought we would win, even though we got sluggish in the second half."

Park have a free weekend before returning to action at Bridgewater in a fortnight.

And Kibble has his sights set on the future.

He added: "A good finish provides us with a nice boost to take into next season.

"We want to move up at least another place in the table, so we will be taking these last games seriously.

"It is always better to finish the season on a high, as you to go into the summer with confidence."
