Bridgwater Town joint-boss Craig Laird feels his side is more than capable of promotion this season after they shocked runaway leaders Windsor and Eton on Saturday.

Two Jamie Price goals either side of half time meant Windsor and Eton finished a game pointless for the first time this season.

The stunning win moves Bridgwater Town up to third place and Laird believes the Robbins can hold their own in the league above if promotion is achieved.

He said: “We just have to get there first.

“I think after a couple of seasons in that league we can push on and move into the league above that.

“We are a young squad and by the time these players mature we will be even better.

“Our average age is around 21 or 22 and in a few years time they will be at their peak. We just have to keep them together.”
