Shirehampton starting to emerge as genuine title contenders
IN-FORM Shirehampton enhanced their growing reputation as dark horses for the title by extending their unbeaten run to six games with a 7-1 win at Weston St Johns last weekend, which moved Pete McCall's side up to seventh place with games in hand on the sides above them.
The Penpole Lane-based outfit are still 17 points behind leaders Berrow, but McCall said: "We played really well last weekend and our form in general has been good after a sticky start to the season.
"It was always a case of getting our strongest team out on the pitch and now it is a case of keeping them together and being able to do that week-in-and-week-out."
McCall has suffered a setback after losing central defender Gerard Robinson, who has gone travelling.
