BRANTHAM Athletic boss Paul Abrahams says he and his fast-improving players are beginning to reap the rewards of their hard work.

And the former Colchester United striker is “fully confident” his team can produce a strong performance during the second half of the Thurlow Nunn League season.

Brantham ended their year with a positive display in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against promotion-chasing Stanway Rovers.

It leaves them 15th in the premier division, heading into Saturday’s match at Felixstowe and Walton.

“I’m seeing the improvement. It’s starting to happen,” said Abrahams, who has put faith in the club’s young guns since parting company with many senior stalwarts from last season.
