BRANTHAM ATHLETIC boss Paul Abrahams says his players have set the standard - now they need to maintain it.

The former Colchester United star has praised his side for their “vastly-improved” performance, in Saturday’s 2-1 success against Kirkley & Pakefield.

It helped the Thurlow Nunn League premier division side get back to winning ways, after bitterly disappointing defeats against struggling pair FC Clacton and Diss.

And now Abrahams is hoping for more of the same - continuing with Saturday’s trip to Whitton United.

“It was a vastly-improved performance, commitment wise,” said Abrahams.

“The test now remains to deliver as a group on a more regular basis."
