Hide AdBoss Eldridge said: “As we reflect on 2022-23 season it was one that had plenty of highs as we achieved our highest points total and reached the last 64 of the FA Vase, getting knocked out to Ascot who made the final.
"I think you always look back and think you could have got more in certain games.
"Early on in the season we ended up drawing games where we should have won so our league position and points total could have been higher.
"There was a two-month spell where we hardly played and this meant playing Saturday/Tuesday for 10 weeks which was physically and mentally demanding on the group.

"The introduction of the new 18/23s to the club has created a good pathway for players with them having first team opportunities through the season.
"We will regroup over the summer break and look to come back stronger next season, looking to make improvements on our weaknesses and add to the group to make it more competitive.”
