Hythe Town boss Clive Cook says their game against Dorking Wanderers will be a good advert for the Ryman League

Hythe Town welcome high-flying Dorking Wanderers to Reachfields on Saturday looking to make it 10 home wins in a row.

Clive Cook’s side haven’t dropped a point at home since October and victory this weekend would add further weight to their play-off push.

The Cannons, who have been climbing the table steadily for the last few months, finally broke into the top-five on Tuesday with a 3-0 win at Peacehaven & Telscombe.

They now face another test of their promotion credentials against the side sitting second in Ryman League Division 1 South.

Town boss Cook said: "I don’t fear anyone. It’ll be a great game and I’m looking forward to it.

"They’re a good side, they’re physical but they play good football. It’s a great advert for Ryman League football. It’s a massive game for us and we mustn’t slip up."

Hythe’s home record is formidable, with victories against Folkestone, Worthing and Faversham the highlights of their long winning run at Reachfields.

But Cook said: "I’m just confident in the squad I’ve got. Even if I have to make changes, I’m confident in what I’ve got.

"There is the home record but I just know that what I’ve got on the park will put a good shift in.

"They want to get into the play-offs and what a massive achievement that would be."
