Taylor glad of Cup commitments

Al Taylor believes Weltons extraordinary Cup commitments this season have helped them find their form.
The Socialites face Ivy Tavern at Sudbrooke Drive on Sunday morning with a place in the quarter finals beckoning.

The Scot credits the additional playing time given to his players by their run to the latter stages of three Cup competitions for his outfit's impressive league campaign, with Welton currently lying second in the Premier League.

"I think the amount of football we've played this season has helped in terms of gelling the group together," Taylor told Sky Sports News.

"With teams dropping out of the League wholesale I think the extra games have helped us get to know each other better on the pitch."

“If you look at Victory now for example, due to the likes of Adelaide and Moorlands and now Swan dropping out of the League they only have 3 games left for the rest of the season which is ridiculous as we’re not even in February yet."

"that highlights how important extra games in the Cups are as we could potentially have 9 more matches in the Cups including the next two weeks.”

“People talk a lot about our fixture congestion later on in the season not helping us but we wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“This Sunday is a massive game for us because we not only want to advance to the next round we want to advance to the final.”
