Skipper bullish over H&B prospects
Roger Roberts believes Hastings & Bexhill are capable of beating any team in their division.
The rugby club has shown a marked improvement in form since the turn of the year and has renewed belief in its ability to compete at London Three South East level.
H&B captain Roberts said: "If everything's going our way and everyone's playing 100 per cent, I don't think there's a team in this league we can't beat."
The acid test for that view will come tomorrow (Saturday) when H&B travel to a table-topping Heathfield & Waldron outfit which has won 13 of its 14 league games to date.
Roberts admitted it was going to be a case of damage limitation for H&B when the fixture was originally due to be contested on December 19, but has a more positive mindset this time.
"We're definitely in a better position than we were then and I'm not taking this as damage limitation now," he continued.
"We've got our work cut out and I won't say that the chances are in our favour because they're not, but our confidence has obviously grown a lot and anything can happen on game day."
H&B remain fourth-from-bottom - one point above the three teams beneath them - with nine matches remaining in their league campaign. They are likely to be without hooker Ben Davies.
