Joe Taylor likes the way things are going at Ramsgate after a turbulent pre-season.
Skipper Taylor scored four times at the weekend, with Tushaun Walters also on target, as Rams beat Southall 5-0 at Southwood in the FA Cup preliminary round.
Their reward is a Kent derby at home to Isthmian Premier Folkestone on August 31.
The cup win followed a 1-0 success at AFC Croydon on the opening day of the Isthmian South East season.
It seems Ramsgate are on track after a difficult summer which saw manager Ben Smith leave only to return when successor Tony Russell resigned after just 25 days.
Rams maybe aren’t considered the overwhelming favourites of this time a year ago after all the upheaval but they’re looking strong.
They host fellow fancied side Sittingbourne on Saturday and visit league new boys Deal on Bank Holiday Monday (both 3pm).
“After a bit of a turbulent pre-season we’ve started really nicely and the squad’s taking good shape,” said Taylor.
“Things are looking very positive and I’m scoring goals.
