Jarvis has eyes on the title

Burnham boss Jamie Jarvis says his squad is strong enough to maintain its title charge until the end of the season.

The Blues are one of four teams at the top of the table who seem to be breaking away from the rest of the Midlands Division.

The top four now have a six point gap over fifth placed Chesham United, who have played a game more.

Jarvis believes the title race is now a four horse race and while admitting a play-off place is still his club’s main goal, he is not ruling out winning the league.

He said: “We have the quality in the squad, I’ve got a great group of players here.

“We know we are very strong at the back in midfield and up front. We’re a difficult side to beat and I’m really happy with what we’re doing.

“I do see it as a four horse race now. We spoke to the lads after the Marlow game on Tuesday night and said that if we win all our games against the sides below us we will be in the play-offs.”

Jarvis added: “But we’ve still got to play Hitchin, Bury and Slough at home.

“If we can pick up points off them, which we’re more than capable of, we will be in a very good position at the end of the season.”
